[PATCH v10 0/9] fsdax: introduce fs query to support reflink

From: Shiyang Ruan
Date: Thu Jan 27 2022 - 07:41:07 EST


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

Changes since V9:
- Remove dax write/read lock patch
- Remove dax_lock_entry() in dax_lock_mapping_entry() and rename it to
dax_load_page()
- Wrap dax code in memory-failure.c with #if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_FS_DAX)
- Wrap xfs_dax_failure_fn() with #if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE)
- Move PAGE_MAPPING_DAX_COW into page-flags.h

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()
| |* xfs_dax_notify_failure()
| |--------------------------
| | xfs_rmap_query_range()
| | xfs_dax_failure_fn()
| | * corrupted on metadata
| | try to recover data, call xfs_force_shutdown()
| | * corrupted on file data
| | try to recover data, call mf_dax_kill_procs()
|* normal case
|-------------
|mf_generic_kill_procs()

==
Shiyang Ruan (9):
dax: Introduce holder for dax_device
mm: factor helpers for memory_failure_dev_pagemap
pagemap,pmem: Introduce ->memory_failure()
fsdax: fix function description
fsdax: Introduce dax_load_page()
mm: move pgoff_address() to vma_pgoff_address()
mm: Introduce mf_dax_kill_procs() for fsdax case
xfs: Implement ->notify_failure() for XFS
fsdax: set a CoW flag when associate reflink mappings
