commit 88b67edd7247466bc47f01e1dc539b0d0d4b931e upstream.

dax_supported() is defined whenever CONFIG_DAX is enabled. So dummy
implementation should be defined only in !CONFIG_DAX case, not in
!CONFIG_FS_DAX case.

commit e2ec5128254518cae320d5dc631b71b94160f663 upstream.

DM was calling generic_fsdax_supported() to determine whether a device
referenced in the DM table supports DAX. However this is a helper for "leaf" device drivers so that
they don't have to duplicate common generic checks. High level code
should call dax_supported() helper which that calls into appropriate
helper for the particular device. This problem manifested itself as
kernel messages:

dm-3: error: dax access failed (-95)

when lvm2-testsuite run in cases where a DM device was stacked on top of
another DM device.

<id>urn:sha1:e31cf2f4ca422ac9b14ecc4a1295b8977a20f812</id>
<content type='text'>
Patch series "mm: consolidate definitions of page table accessors", v2.

The low level page table accessors (pXY_index(), pXY_offset()) are
duplicated across all architectures and sometimes more than once.  For
instance, we have 31 definition of pgd_offset() for 25 supported
architectures.

Most of these definitions are actually identical and typically it boils
down to, e.g.

static inline unsigned long pmd_index(unsigned long address)
{
        return (address &gt;&gt; PMD_SHIFT) &amp; (PTRS_PER_PMD - 1);
}

static inline pmd_t *pmd_offset(pud_t *pud, unsigned long address)
{
        return (pmd_t *)pud_page_vaddr(*pud) + pmd_index(address);
}

These definitions can be shared among 90% of the arches provided
XYZ_SHIFT, PTRS_PER_XYZ and xyz_page_vaddr() are defined.

For architectures that really need a custom version there is always
possibility to override the generic version with the usual ifdefs magic.

These patches introduce include/linux/pgtable.h that replaces
include/asm-generic/pgtable.h and add the definitions of the page table
accessors to the new header.

This patch (of 12):

The linux/mm.h header includes &lt;asm/pgtable.h&gt; to allow inlining of the
functions involving page table manipulations, e.g.  pte_alloc() and
pmd_alloc().  So, there is no point to explicitly include &lt;asm/pgtable.h&gt;
in the files that include &lt;linux/mm.h&gt;.

The include statements in such cases are remove with a simple loop:

	for f in $(git grep -l "include &lt;linux/mm.h&gt;") ; do
		sed -i -e '/include &lt;asm\/pgtable.h&gt;/ d' $f
	done

Add a helper dax_ioamp_zero() to zero a range. This patch basically
merges __dax_zero_page_range() and iomap_dax_zero().

Add a dax operation zero_page_range, to zero a page. This will also clear any
known poison in the page being zeroed.

As of now, zeroing of one page is allowed in a single call. There
are no callers which are trying to zero more than a page in a single call.
Once we grow the callers which zero more than a page in single call, we
can add that support. Primary reason for not doing that yet is that this
will add little complexity in dm implementation where a range might be
spanning multiple underlying targets and one will have to split the range
into multiple sub ranges and call zero_page_range() on individual targets.

Looks like nobody is using fs_dax_get_by_host() except fs_dax_get_by_bdev()
and it can easily use dax_get_by_host() instead.

IIUC, fs_dax_get_by_host() was only introduced so that one could compile
with CONFIG_FS_DAX=n and CONFIG_DAX=m. fs_dax_get_by_bdev() achieves
the same purpose and hence it looks like fs_dax_get_by_host() is not
needed anymore.

<title>dax: Pass dax_dev instead of bdev to dax_writeback_mapping_range()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:3f666c56c6b8cc40a5e9002aac484b8f5b83c402</id>
<content type='text'>
As of now dax_writeback_mapping_range() takes "struct block_device" as a
parameter and dax_dev is searched from bdev name. This also involves taking
a fresh reference on dax_dev and putting that reference at the end of
function.

We are developing a new filesystem virtio-fs and using dax to access host
page cache directly. But there is no block device. IOW, we want to make
use of dax but want to get rid of this assumption that there is always
a block device associated with dax_dev.

So pass in "struct dax_device" as parameter instead of bdev.

ext2/ext4/xfs are current users and they already have a reference on
dax_device. So there is no need to take reference and drop reference to
dax_device on each call of this function.

This patch introduces 'daxdev_mapping_supported' helper
which checks if 'MAP_SYNC' is supported with filesystem
mapping. It also checks if corresponding dax_device is
synchronous. Virtio pmem device is asynchronous and
does not not support VM_SYNC.

<content type='text'>
Pankaj reports that starting with commit ad428cdb525a "dax: Check the
end of the block-device capacity with dax_direct_access()" device-mapper
no longer allows dax operation. This results from the stricter checks in
__bdev_dax_supported() that validate that the start and end of a
block-device map to the same 'pagemap' instance.

Teach the dax-core and device-mapper to validate the 'pagemap' on a
per-target basis. This is accomplished by refactoring the
bdev_dax_supported() internals into generic_fsdax_supported() which
takes a sector range to validate. Consequently generic_fsdax_supported()
is suitable to be used in a device-mapper -&gt;iterate_devices() callback.
A new -&gt;dax_supported() operation is added to allow composite devices to
split and route upper-level bdev_dax_supported() requests.
