Use the letter 'x' to set/get dax attribute on a directory/file.
Signed-off-by: Xiao Yang <[email protected]>
---
V1->V2:
1) Define FS_DAX_FL in order and add missing 'x' letter in manpage.
2) Add more detailed description about 'x' attribute.
3) 'x' is a separate attribute and doesn't always affect S_DAX(i.e.
pagecache bypass) so remove the related info.

Per-file support is not supported on ext2...
So I'm suspicious of this change. It is probably not an issue but I just
wanted to check if you are trying to test on ext2?

Hi Ira,
Thanks for your reply. :-)
chattr failed to set the 'x' flag on ext2 sliently because ext2_ioctl()
in kernel drops
unsupported 'FS_DAX_FL' sliently:
----------------------------------------------
# touch file
# chattr +x file;echo $?
0
# lsattr file
--------------------- file
----------------------------------------------
ext2_ioctl() drops all unsupported flags sliently(see the following
code) so I am
not sure if we should return -EOPNOTSUPP for the unsupported FS_DAX_FL:
----------------------------------------------
long ext2_ioctl(struct file *filp, unsigned int cmd, unsigned long arg)
...
case EXT2_IOC_SETFLAGS: {
...
flags = flags & EXT2_FL_USER_MODIFIABLE;
flags |= oldflags & ~EXT2_FL_USER_MODIFIABLE;
ei->i_flags = flags;
ext2_set_inode_flags(inode);
...
----------------------------------------------
Best Regards,
Xiao Yang

It is up to the kernel to handle the various flags, definitely the chattr
command should not be trying to guess which flags are supported, since
this can definitely change between kernels and the underlying filesystems.
Note that the headers in e2fsprogs are all using "ext2" in the name,
regardless of the fact that the flags apply to ext3 and ext4.

Should this be "DAX" ? That is how it is commonly used in the kernel.

Hi Andreas,
Agreed, the various flags are handled by kernel instead of chattr
command. :-)

Hi Andreas,
Thanks a lot for your review.
Either 'Dax' or 'DAX' is fine to me because it is just the output of
lsattr -v.
For example, xfs_io shows 'dax' instead of 'DAX':
# xfs_io -c "lsattr -v" file
[dax] file
BTW:
I just used 'Dax' to follow the current format of output(i.e. capitalize
the first letter).
Do you want me to send v3 patch with the 'DAX'? :-)

I don't need a v3 for the Dax vs. DAX case, though I think DAX would be
better. The decision is up to Ted.

This may allow the flag to be set but I don't think this implements the logic
within ext2 to properly support the flag does it?
Just a quick look shows that ext2_ioctl() does not have any dax checks in it
and you don't add them here?
So how does this work? Does ext2 share all the code with ext4 to make it work?

Hi Ira,
In ext2, the dax flag cannot be set because ext2_ioctl() uses
EXT2_FL_USER_MODIFIABLE to drop
the unsupported flag.
> Just a quick look shows that ext2_ioctl() does not have any dax checks in it
> and you don't add them here?
The dax flag never be passed into ext2 actually so I don't think we need
some dax checks.
> So how does this work? Does ext2 share all the code with ext4 to make it work?
1) ext2 without CONFIG_EXT4_USE_FOR_EXT2 unsupports the dax flag and
ignores it sliently.
2) ext2 with CONFIG_EXT4_USE_FOR_EXT2 supports the dax flag.
