Subject: [PATCH] fs, dax: unify IOMAP_F_DIRTY read vs write handling policy in the dax core

While reviewing whether MAP_SYNC should strengthen its current guarantee
of syncing writes from the initiating process to also include
third-party readers observing dirty metadata, Dave pointed out that the
check of IOMAP_WRITE is misplaced.

The policy of what to with IOMAP_F_DIRTY should be separated from the
generic filesystem mechanism of reporting dirty metadata. Move this
policy to the fs-dax core to simplify the per-filesystem iomap handlers,
and further centralize code that implements the MAP_SYNC policy. This
otherwise should not change behavior, it just makes it easier to change
behavior in the future.

This is an additional cleanup I want to include in the 4.15 merge
request for the MAP_SYNC feature. Please review, I'm looking to send the
pull request towards the end of the week.

Yes, this was what I was looking for on my last read-through. :)

Why not if (xfs_ipincount(ip) && (ip->... & ~XFS_ILOG_TIMESTAMP)) ?

Otherwise looks ok (just this patch, will rvb the rest separately),

Please make a helper for this, and use it in xfs_file_fsync() where
the same dirty checks are done. e.g.

static inline bool
xfs_inode_need_fsync(struct xfs_inode *ip, bool datasync)
{
if (!xfs_ipincount(ip))
return false;
if (xfs_inode_clean(ip))
return false;
if (datasync &&
!(ip->i_itemp->ili_fsync_fields & ~XFS_ILOG_TIMESTAMP))
return false;
return true;
}

Cheers,

Dave.

Please don't split up the conditional and make it harder to read.

With that fixed up this looks fine to me:

Let's keep that sort of cleanup separate. I initially considered
it when doing the MAP_SYNC work, but fsync works a little different
in that it looks at ili_last_lsn, so your little helper below won't
work as-is. You can send it as an incremental patch later and we
can see if we can come up with something workable.
