Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/3] realize dax_operations for dm-snapshot

This series patches are used to realize the dax_operations for dm-snapshot
with persistent memory device.

Here are the steps about how to verify the function.

1. Configure the persistent memory to fs-dax mode and create namespace with ndctl;
2. find them in /dev;
  # ndctl list
  {
    "dev":"namespace0.0",
    "mode":"fsdax",
    "map":"dev",
    "size":132118478848,
    "sector_size":512,
    "blockdev":"pmem0",
    "name":"yhs_pmem0",
    "numa_node":0
  },
3. create lv_pmem (here is 4G size) for testing;
   # pvcreate /dev/pmem0
   # vgcreate vg_pmem /dev/pmem0
   # lvcreate  -L 4G -n lv_pmem vg_pmem
4. create filesystem (ext2 or ext4) to /dev/pmem0
   # mkfs.ext2 -b 4096 /dev/vg_pmem/lv_pmem
5. mount pmem with DAX way;
   # mkdir /mnt/lv_pmem
   # mount -o dax /dev/vg_pmem/lv_pmem /mnt/lv_pmem/
6. cp some files to /mnt/lv_pmem;
   # cp linear_table03.log /mnt/lv_pmem/
   # cp test0.log /mnt/lv_pmem/
7. create snapshot for test (here I limit it to 1G size);
   # lvcreate -L 1G -n snap_pmem -s /dev/vg_pmem/lv_pmem
8. modify the files copied with vim or copy more other new files;
   # vim /mnt/lv_pmem/test0.log
9. umount the pmem device;
   # umount /mnt/lv_pmem/
10.merge the snapshot back to origin;
   # lvconvert --merge /dev/vg_pmem/snap_pmem
11.mount pmem device again for checking the content of files;
   # mount -o dax /dev/vg_pmem/lv_pmem /mnt/lv_pmem/

Huaisheng Ye (3):
  dm: enable dax_operations for dm-snapshot
  dm: expand hc_map in mapped_device for lack of map
  dm: expand valid types for dm-ioctl
