[PATCH v6 0/7] fsdax,xfs: Add reflink&dedupe support for fsdax
From: Shiyang Ruan
Date: Wed May 19 2021 - 02:01:25 EST
This patchset is attempt to add CoW support for fsdax, and take XFS,
which has both reflink and fsdax feature, as an example.
Changes from V5:
- Fix the lock order of xfs_inode in xfs_mmaplock_two_inodes_and_break_dax_layout()
- move dax_remap_file_range_prep() to fs/dax.c
- change type of length to uint64_t in dax_iomap_cow_copy()
- fix mistake in dax_iomap_zero()
Changes from V4:
- Fix the mistake of breaking dax layout for two inodes
- Add CONFIG_FS_DAX judgement for fsdax code in remap_range.c
- Fix other small problems and mistakes
One of the key mechanism need to be implemented in fsdax is CoW. Copy
the data from srcmap before we actually write data to the destance
iomap. And we just copy range in which data won't be changed.
Another mechanism is range comparison. In page cache case, readpage()
is used to load data on disk to page cache in order to be able to
compare data. In fsdax case, readpage() does not work. So, we need
another compare data with direct access support.
With the two mechanisms implemented in fsdax, we are able to make reflink
and fsdax work together in XFS.
Some of the patches are picked up from Goldwyn's patchset. I made some
changes to adapt to this patchset.
(Rebased on v5.13-rc2 and patchset[1])
