Shouldn't we check that the device supports AWU at all before turning on
the FMODE flag?

Note to self: This should also check if O_DIRECT is set

Can we easily get this sort of bdev info here?
Currently if we do try to issue an atomic write and AWU for the bdev is
zero, then XFS iomap code will reject it.

Hmm. Well, if we move towards pushing all the hardware checks out of
xfs/iomap and into whatever goes on underneath submit_bio then I guess
we don't need to check device support here at all.

Yeah, I have been thinking about this. But I was still planning on
putting a "bdev on atomic write" check here, as you mentioned.
But is this a proper method to access the bdev for an xfs inode:
STATIC bool
xfs_file_can_atomic_write(
struct xfs_inode *inode)
{
struct xfs_buftarg *target = xfs_inode_buftarg(inode);
struct block_device *bdev = target->bt_bdev;
if (!xfs_inode_atomicwrites(inode))
return false;
return bdev_can_atomic_write(bdev);
}
I do notice the dax check in xfs_bmbt_to_iomap() when assigning
iomap->bdev, which is creating some doubt?
Thanks,
John

There's still a TOCTOU race problem if the bdev gets reconfigured
between xfs_file_can_atomic_write and submit_bio.
However, if you're only using this to advertise the capability via statx
then I suppose that's fine -- userspace has to have some means of
discovering the ability at all. Userspace is also inherently racy.

Do you mean this?
if (mapping_flags & IOMAP_DAX)
iomap->dax_dev = target->bt_daxdev;
else
iomap->bdev = target->bt_bdev;
The dax path wants dax_dev set so that it can do the glorified memcpy
operation, and it doesn't need (or want) a block device.

If that is the case then a check in the bio submit path is required to
catch any such reconfigure problems - and we effectively have that in
this series.
I am looking at change some of these XFS bdev_can_atomic_write() checks,
but would still have a check in the bio submit path.

Yes, so proper to use target->bt_bdev for checks for bdev atomic write
capability, right?

<nod> "check in the bio submit path" sounds good to me. Adding in
redundant checks which are eventually gated on whatever submit_bio does
sounds like excessive overhead and layering violations.

Right. fsdax doesn't support atomic memcpy to pmem.
