Subject: [PATCH v2] dm: Call proper helper to determine dax support

From: Jan Kara <[email protected]>

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.

Is there somewhere where it is documented which of:

bdev_dax_supported, generic_fsdax_supported, and dax_supported

one is supposed to use for a given circumstance?

I guess the last two can test a given range w/ blocksize; the first one
only does blocksize; and the middle one also checks with whatever fs
might be mounted? <shrug>

(I ask because it took me a while to figure out how to revert correctly
the brokenness in rc3-5 that broke my nightly dax fstesting.)

generic_fsdax_supported should be private to device drivers populating
their dax_operations. I think it deserves a rename at this point.
dax_supported() knows how to route through multiple layers of stacked
block-devices to ask the "is dax supported" question at each level.

Again, apologies for that.

Thanks for report! Attached patch should fix the build (at least I've
tested it with CONFIG_DAX && CONFIG_FS_DAX, CONFIG_DAX && !CONFIG_FS_DAX,
and !CONFIG_DAX cases). Dan can you please merge the fix?
