dax: prevent invalidation of mapped DAX entries

2017-05-12T22:57:15Z

Patch series "mm,dax: Fix data corruption due to mmap inconsistency", v4. This series fixes data corruption that can happen for DAX mounts when page faults race with write(2) and as a result page tables get out of sync with block mappings in the filesystem and thus data seen through mmap is different from data seen through read(2). The series passes testing with t_mmap_stale test program from Ross and also other mmap related tests on DAX filesystem. This patch (of 4): dax_invalidate_mapping_entry() currently removes DAX exceptional entries only if they are clean and unlocked. This is done via: invalidate_mapping_pages() invalidate_exceptional_entry() dax_invalidate_mapping_entry() However, for page cache pages removed in invalidate_mapping_pages() there is an additional criteria which is that the page must not be mapped. This is noted in the comments above invalidate_mapping_pages() and is checked in invalidate_inode_page(). For DAX entries this means that we can can end up in a situation where a DAX exceptional entry, either a huge zero page or a regular DAX entry, could end up mapped but without an associated radix tree entry. This is inconsistent with the rest of the DAX code and with what happens in the page cache case. We aren't able to unmap the DAX exceptional entry because according to its comments invalidate_mapping_pages() isn't allowed to block, and unmap_mapping_range() takes a write lock on the mapping->i_mmap_rwsem. Since we essentially never have unmapped DAX entries to evict from the radix tree, just remove dax_invalidate_mapping_entry().

block, dax: move "select DAX" from BLOCK to FS_DAX

2017-05-08T17:55:27Z

For configurations that do not enable DAX filesystems or drivers, do not require the DAX core to be built. Given that the 'direct_access' method has been removed from 'block_device_operations', we can also go ahead and remove the block-related dax helper functions from fs/block_dev.c to drivers/dax/super.c. This keeps dax details out of the block layer and lets the DAX core be built as a module in the FS_DAX=n case. Filesystems need to include dax.h to call bdev_dax_supported().

filesystem-dax: convert to dax_direct_access()

2017-04-25T20:20:46Z

Now that a dax_device is plumbed through all dax-capable drivers we can switch from block_device_operations to dax_operations for invoking ->direct_access. This also lets us kill off some usages of struct blk_dax_ctl on the way to its eventual removal. Suggested-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Dan Williams

Revert "block: use DAX for partition table reads"

2017-04-25T20:20:46Z

commit d1a5f2b4d8a1 ("block: use DAX for partition table reads") was part of a stalled effort to allow dax mappings of block devices. Since then the device-dax mechanism has filled the role of dax-mapping static device ranges. Now that we are moving ->direct_access() from a block_device operation to a dax_inode operation we would need block devices to map and carry their own dax_inode reference. Unless / until we decide to revive dax mapping of raw block devices through the dax_inode scheme, there is no need to carry read_dax_sector(). Its removal in turn allows for the removal of bdev_direct_access() and should have been included in commit 223757016837 ("block_dev: remove DAX leftovers").

dax: introduce dax_direct_access()

2017-04-20T18:57:52Z

Replace bdev_direct_access() with dax_direct_access() that uses dax_device and dax_operations instead of a block_device and block_device_operations for dax. Once all consumers of the old api have been converted bdev_direct_access() will be deleted. Given that block device partitioning decisions can cause dax page alignment constraints to be violated this also introduces the bdev_dax_pgoff() helper. It handles calculating a logical pgoff relative to the dax_device and also checks for page alignment. Signed-off-by: Dan Williams

pmem: add dax_operations support

2017-04-19T22:14:35Z

Setup a dax_device to have the same lifetime as the pmem block device and add a ->direct_access() method that is equivalent to pmem_direct_access(). Once fs/dax.c has been converted to use dax_operations the old pmem_direct_access() will be removed. Signed-off-by: Dan Williams

dax: introduce dax_operations

2017-04-19T22:14:35Z

Track a set of dax_operations per dax_device that can be set at alloc_dax() time. These operations will be used to stop the abuse of block_device_operations for communicating dax capabilities to filesystems. It will also be used to replace the "pmem api" and move pmem-specific cache maintenance, and other dax-driver-specific filesystem-dax operations, to dax device methods. In particular this allows us to stop abusing __copy_user_nocache(), via memcpy_to_pmem(), with a driver specific replacement. This is a standalone introduction of the operations. Follow on patches convert each dax-driver and teach fs/dax.c to use ->direct_access() from dax_operations instead of block_device_operations.

dax: add a facility to lookup a dax device by 'host' device name

2017-04-19T22:14:31Z

For the current block_device based filesystem-dax path, we need a way for it to lookup the dax_device associated with a block_device. Add a 'host' property of a dax_device that can be used for this purpose. It is a free form string, but for a dax_device associated with a block device it is the bdev name. This is a stop-gap until filesystems are able to mount on a dax-inode directly. Signed-off-by: Dan Williams
