[PATCH v2 8/9] fs/ext4: Introduce DAX inode flag

From: ira . weiny
Date: Fri May 15 2020 - 00:41:48 EST


From: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@xxxxxxxxx>

Add a flag to preserve FS_XFLAG_DAX in the ext4 inode.

Set the flag to be user visible and changeable. Set the flag to be
inherited. Allow applications to change the flag at any time.

Finally, on regular files, flag the inode to not be cached to facilitate
changing S_DAX on the next creation of the inode.

Change from V0:
Add FS_DAX_FL to include/uapi/linux/fs.h
to be consistent
Move ext4_dax_dontcache() to ext4_ioctl_setflags()
This ensures that it is only set when the flags are going to be
set and not if there is an error
Also this sets don't cache in the FS_IOC_SETFLAGS case

Change from RFC:
use new d_mark_dontcache()
Allow caching if ALWAYS/NEVER is set
Rebased to latest Linus master
Change flag to unused 0x01000000
update ext4_should_enable_dax()
