![]() Patch series "v14 fsdax-rmap + v11 fsdax-reflink", v2. The patchset fsdax-rmap is aimed to support shared pages tracking for fsdax. It moves owner tracking from dax_assocaite_entry() to pmem device driver, by introducing an interface ->memory_failure() for struct pagemap. This interface is called by memory_failure() in mm, and implemented by pmem device. Then call holder operations to find the filesystem which the corrupted data located in, and call filesystem handler to track files or metadata associated with this page. Finally we are able to try to fix the corrupted data in filesystem and do other necessary processing, such as killing processes who are using the files affected. The call trace is like this: memory_failure() |* fsdax case |------------ |pgmap->ops->memory_failure() => pmem_pgmap_memory_failure() | dax_holder_notify_failure() => | dax_device->holder_ops->notify_failure() => | - xfs_dax_notify_failure() | |* xfs_dax_notify_failure() | |-------------------------- | | xfs_rmap_query_range() | | xfs_dax_failure_fn() | | * corrupted on metadata | | try to recover data, call xfs_force_shutdown() | | * corrupted on file data | | try to recover data, call mf_dax_kill_procs() |* normal case |------------- |mf_generic_kill_procs() The patchset fsdax-reflink attempts to add CoW support for fsdax, and takes XFS, which has both reflink and fsdax features, as an example. One of the key mechanisms needed to be implemented in fsdax is CoW. Copy the data from srcmap before we actually write data to the destination iomap. And we just copy range in which data won't be changed. Another mechanism is range comparison. In page cache case, readpage() is used to load data on disk to page cache in order to be able to compare data. In fsdax case, readpage() does not work. So, we need another compare data with direct access support. With the two mechanisms implemented in fsdax, we are able to make reflink and fsdax work together in XFS. This patch (of 14): To easily track filesystem from a pmem device, we introduce a holder for dax_device structure, and also its operation. This holder is used to remember who is using this dax_device: - When it is the backend of a filesystem, the holder will be the instance of this filesystem. - When this pmem device is one of the targets in a mapped device, the holder will be this mapped device. In this case, the mapped device has its own dax_device and it will follow the first rule. So that we can finally track to the filesystem we needed. The holder and holder_ops will be set when filesystem is being mounted, or an target device is being activated.
