[PATCH v4 4/7] dax: add support for fsync/sync

From: Ross Zwisler
Date: Mon Dec 14 2015 - 18:32:48 EST


To properly handle fsync/msync in an efficient way DAX needs to track dirty
pages so it is able to flush them durably to media on demand.

The tracking of dirty pages is done via the radix tree in struct
address_space. This radix tree is already used by the page writeback
infrastructure for tracking dirty pages associated with an open file, and
it already has support for exceptional (non struct page*) entries. We
build upon these features to add exceptional entries to the radix tree for
DAX dirty PMD or PTE pages at fault time.

For v4 I'm just sending out this one changed patch in an effort to not spam
everyone.

Changes since v3:

- Rebased on top of ext4/master which provides the patches from Jan which I'm
building upon. The rebased tree can be found here:

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/zwisler/linux.git/log/?h=fsync_v4

- Removed a WARN_ONCE() and added a comment for the case where we can get a
dax_pfn_mkwrite() call that has lost a race with a hole punch operation.
