Direct Access for files
-----------------------
Motivation
----------
The page cache is usually used to buffer reads and writes to files.
It is also used to provide the pages which are mapped into userspace
by a call to mmap.
For block devices that are memory-like, the page cache pages would be
unnecessary copies of the original storage. The DAX code removes the
extra copy by performing reads and writes directly to the storage device.
For file mappings, the storage device is mapped directly into userspace.
Usage
-----
If you have a block device which supports DAX, you can make a filesystem
on it as usual. When mounting it, use the -o dax option manually
or add 'dax' to the options in /etc/fstab.
Implementation Tips for Block Driver Writers
--------------------------------------------
To support DAX in your block driver, implement the 'direct_access'
block device operation. It is used to translate the sector number
(expressed in units of 512-byte sectors) to a page frame number (pfn)
that identifies the physical page for the memory. It also returns a
kernel virtual address that can be used to access the memory.
The direct_access method takes a 'size' parameter that indicates the
number of bytes being requested. The function should return the number
of bytes that can be contiguously accessed at that offset. It may also
return a negative errno if an error occurs.
In order to support this method, the storage must be byte-accessible by
the CPU at all times. If your device uses paging techniques to expose
a large amount of memory through a smaller window, then you cannot
implement direct_access. Equally, if your device can occasionally
stall the CPU for an extended period, you should also not attempt to
implement direct_access.
These block devices may be used for inspiration:
- axonram: Axon DDR2 device driver
- brd: RAM backed block device driver
- dcssblk: s390 dcss block device driver
Implementation Tips for Filesystem Writers
------------------------------------------
Filesystem support consists of
- adding support to mark inodes as being DAX by setting the S_DAX flag in
i_flags
- implementing the direct_IO address space operation, and calling
dax_do_io() instead of blockdev_direct_IO() if S_DAX is set
- implementing an mmap file operation for DAX files which sets the
VM_MIXEDMAP flag on the VMA, and setting the vm_ops to include handlers
for fault and page_mkwrite (which should probably call dax_fault() and
dax_mkwrite(), passing the appropriate get_block() callback)
- calling dax_truncate_page() instead of block_truncate_page() for DAX files
- calling dax_zero_page_range() instead of zero_user() for DAX files
- ensuring that there is sufficient locking between reads, writes,
truncates and page faults
The get_block() callback passed to the DAX functions may return
uninitialised extents. If it does, it must ensure that simultaneous
calls to get_block() (for example by a page-fault racing with a read()
or a write()) work correctly.
These filesystems may be used for inspiration:
- ext2: the second extended filesystem, see Documentation/filesystems/ext2.txt
- ext4: the fourth extended filesystem, see Documentation/filesystems/ext4.txt
Shortcomings
------------
Even if the kernel or its modules are stored on a filesystem that supports
DAX on a block device that supports DAX, they will still be copied into RAM.
The DAX code does not work correctly on architectures which have virtually
mapped caches such as ARM, MIPS and SPARC.
Calling get_user_pages() on a range of user memory that has been mmaped
from a DAX file will fail as there are no 'struct page' to describe
those pages. This problem is being worked on. That means that O_DIRECT
reads/writes to those memory ranges from a non-DAX file will fail (note
that O_DIRECT reads/writes _of a DAX file_ do work, it is the memory
that is being accessed that is key here). Other things that will not
work include RDMA, sendfile() and splice().

Execute-in-place for file mappings
----------------------------------
Motivation
----------
File mappings are performed by mapping page cache pages to userspace. In
addition, read&write type file operations also transfer data from/to the page
cache.
For memory backed storage devices that use the block device interface, the page
cache pages are in fact copies of the original storage. Various approaches
exist to work around the need for an extra copy. The ramdisk driver for example
does read the data into the page cache, keeps a reference, and discards the
original data behind later on.
Execute-in-place solves this issue the other way around: instead of keeping
data in the page cache, the need to have a page cache copy is eliminated
completely. With execute-in-place, read&write type operations are performed
directly from/to the memory backed storage device. For file mappings, the
storage device itself is mapped directly into userspace.
This implementation was initially written for shared memory segments between
different virtual machines on s390 hardware to allow multiple machines to
share the same binaries and libraries.
Implementation
--------------
Execute-in-place is implemented in three steps: block device operation,
address space operation, and file operations.
A block device operation named direct_access is used to translate the
block device sector number to a page frame number (pfn) that identifies
the physical page for the memory. It also returns a kernel virtual
address that can be used to access the memory.
The direct_access method takes a 'size' parameter that indicates the
number of bytes being requested. The function should return the number
of bytes that can be contiguously accessed at that offset. It may also
return a negative errno if an error occurs.
The block device operation is optional, these block devices support it as of
today:
- dcssblk: s390 dcss block device driver
An address space operation named get_xip_mem is used to retrieve references
to a page frame number and a kernel address. To obtain these values a reference
to an address_space is provided. This function assigns values to the kmem and
pfn parameters. The third argument indicates whether the function should allocate
blocks if needed.
This address space operation is mutually exclusive with readpage&writepage that
do page cache read/write operations.
The following filesystems support it as of today:
- ext2: the second extended filesystem, see Documentation/filesystems/ext2.txt
A set of file operations that do utilize get_xip_page can be found in
mm/filemap_xip.c . The following file operation implementations are provided:
- aio_read/aio_write
- readv/writev
- sendfile
The generic file operations do_sync_read/do_sync_write can be used to implement
classic synchronous IO calls.
Shortcomings
------------
This implementation is limited to storage devices that are cpu addressable at
all times (no highmem or such). It works well on rom/ram, but enhancements are
needed to make it work with flash in read+write mode.
Putting the Linux kernel and/or its modules on a xip filesystem does not mean
they are not copied.
