Subject: [PATCH v6 0/7] DAX fsync/msync support

Changes since v5 [1]:

1) Merged with Dan's changes to fs/dax.c that were staged in -mm and -next.

2) Store sectors in the address_space radix tree for DAX entries instead of
addresses. This allows us to get the addresses from the block driver
via dax_map_atomic() during fsync/msync so that we can protect against
races with block device removal. (Dan)

3) Reordered things a bit in dax_writeback_one() so we clear the
PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE tag even if the radix tree entry is corrupt. This
prevents us from getting into an infinite loop where we don't proceed far
enough in dax_writeback_one() to clear that flag, but
dax_writeback_mapping_range() will keep finding that entry via
find_get_entries_tag().

4) Changed the ordering of the radix tree insertion so that it happens
before the page insertion into the page tables. This ensures that we don't
end up in a case where the page table insertion succeeds and the radix tree
insertion fails which could give us a writeable PTE that has no
corresponding radix tree entry.

5) Got rid of the 'nrdax' variable in struct address_space and renamed
'nrshadows' to 'nrexceptional' so that it can be used for both DAX and
shadow exceptional entries. We explicitly prevent shadow entries from
being added to radix trees for DAX mappings, so the single counter can
safely be reused for both purposes. (Jan)

6) Updated all my WARN_ON() calls so I use the return value to know whether
I've hit an erorr. (Andrew)

This series applies cleanly and was tested against next-20151223.

Subject: [PATCH v6 1/7] pmem: add wb_cache_pmem() to the PMEM API

The function __arch_wb_cache_pmem() was already an internal implementation
detail of the x86 PMEM API, but this functionality needs to be exported as
part of the general PMEM API to handle the fsync/msync case for DAX mmaps.

One thing worth noting is that we really do want this to be part of the
PMEM API as opposed to a stand-alone function like clflush_cache_range()
because of ordering restrictions. By having wb_cache_pmem() as part of the
PMEM API we can leave it unordered, call it multiple times to write back
large amounts of memory, and then order the multiple calls with a single
wmb_pmem().

Subject: [PATCH v6 2/7] dax: support dirty DAX entries in radix tree

Add support for tracking dirty DAX entries in the struct address_space
radix tree. This tree is already used for dirty page writeback, and it
already supports the use of exceptional (non struct page*) entries.

In order to properly track dirty DAX pages we will insert new exceptional
entries into the radix tree that represent dirty DAX PTE or PMD pages.
These exceptional entries will also contain the writeback sectors for the
PTE or PMD faults that we can use at fsync/msync time.

There are currently two types of exceptional entries (shmem and shadow)
that can be placed into the radix tree, and this adds a third. We rely on
the fact that only one type of exceptional entry can be found in a given
radix tree based on its usage. This happens for free with DAX vs shmem but
we explicitly prevent shadow entries from being added to radix trees for
DAX mappings.

The only shadow entries that would be generated for DAX radix trees would
be to track zero page mappings that were created for holes. These pages
would receive minimal benefit from having shadow entries, and the choice
to have only one type of exceptional entry in a given radix tree makes the
logic simpler both in clear_exceptional_entry() and in the rest of DAX.

Subject: [PATCH v6 4/7] dax: add support for fsync/msync

To properly handle fsync/msync in an efficient way DAX needs to track dirty
pages so it is able to flush them durably to media on demand.

The tracking of dirty pages is done via the radix tree in struct
address_space. This radix tree is already used by the page writeback
infrastructure for tracking dirty pages associated with an open file, and
it already has support for exceptional (non struct page*) entries. We
build upon these features to add exceptional entries to the radix tree for
DAX dirty PMD or PTE pages at fault time.

Using >= would provide more safety from buffer overflow
problems in case ret ever jumped ahead by more than one.

I may get it wrong, but there is "struct page" for persistent memory after
"[PATCH v4 00/18]get_user_pages() for dax pte and pmd mappings".
So why not just add "struct page" to radix tree directly just like normal page cache?

Then we don't need to deal with any exceptional entries and special writeback.

Bob

That "struct page" is optional and fsync/msync needs to operate in its absence.

Any special reason or scenario that "struct page" should not be enabled?
I didn't see any disadvantages if always enable "struct page" by force when using DAX model for pmem.
The benefits would be things can be more simple and less potential bugs because of smaller patches.

We can't enable struct page coverage by default.

The persistent memory capacity may be too large to allocate the memmap
array from DRAM. Allocating it from pmem reduces the size of the
device and we can't have a block device change sizes just by booting a
different kernel (any kernel less than 4.5). So, enabling struct page
must be an explicit action.
