[PATCH RESEND v6 0/9] fsdax: introduce fs query to support reflink

From: Shiyang Ruan
Date: Fri Jul 30 2021 - 06:03:54 EST


This patchset is aimed to support shared pages tracking for fsdax.

Changes for RESEND:
- update the title of patch 6
- update the wrong email address of one receiver

Changes from V5:
- fix dax_load_pfn(), take locked,empty,zero dax entry into
consideration
- fix the usage of rwsem lock for dax_device's holder
- fix build error reported by kernelbot
- keep functionality of dax_{,dis}assocaite_entry() for filesystems
doesn't have rmapbt feature
- Rebased to v5.14-rc3

This patchset moves owner tracking from dax_assocaite_entry() to pmem
device driver, by introducing an interface ->memory_failure() for struct
pagemap. This interface is called by memory_failure() in mm, and
implemented by pmem device.

Then call holder operations to find the filesystem which the corrupted
data located in, and call filesystem handler to track files or metadata
associated with this page.

Finally we are able to try to fix the corrupted data in filesystem and
do other necessary processing, such as killing processes who are using
the files affected.

The call trace is like this:
memory_failure()
|* fsdax case
|------------
|pgmap->ops->memory_failure() => pmem_pgmap_memory_failure()
| dax_holder_notify_failure() =>
| dax_device->holder_ops->notify_failure() =>
| - xfs_dax_notify_failure()
| - md_dax_notify_failure()
| |* xfs_dax_notify_failure()
| |--------------------------
| | xfs_rmap_query_range()
| | xfs_currupt_helper()
| | * corrupted on metadata
| | try to recover data, call xfs_force_shutdown()
| | * corrupted on file data
| | try to recover data, call mf_dax_kill_procs()
| |* md_dax_notify_failure()
| |-------------------------
| md_targets->iterate_devices()
| md_targets->rmap() => linear_rmap()
| dax_holder_notify_failure()
|* normal case
|-------------
mf_generic_kill_procs()

The fsdax & reflink support for XFS is not contained in this patchset.

(Rebased on v5.14-rc3)
