f5705aa8cf dax, xfs, ext4: compile out iomap-dax paths in the FS_DAX=n case
Tetsuo reports:

  fs/built-in.o: In function `xfs_file_iomap_end':
  xfs_iomap.c:(.text+0xe0ef9): undefined reference to `put_dax'
  fs/built-in.o: In function `xfs_file_iomap_begin':

  make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1
  $ grep DAX .config
  CONFIG_DAX=m
  # CONFIG_DEV_DAX is not set
  # CONFIG_FS_DAX is not set

When FS_DAX=n we can/must throw away the dax code in filesystems.
Implement 'fs_' versions of dax_get_by_host() and put_dax() that are
nops in the FS_DAX=n case.

4636e70bb0 dax: prevent invalidation of mapped DAX entries
Patch series "mm,dax: Fix data corruption due to mmap inconsistency",
v4.

This series fixes data corruption that can happen for DAX mounts when
page faults race with write(2) and as a result page tables get out of
sync with block mappings in the filesystem and thus data seen through
mmap is different from data seen through read(2).

The series passes testing with t_mmap_stale test program from Ross and
also other mmap related tests on DAX filesystem.

This patch (of 4):

dax_invalidate_mapping_entry() currently removes DAX exceptional entries
only if they are clean and unlocked.  This is done via:

  invalidate_mapping_pages()
    invalidate_exceptional_entry()
      dax_invalidate_mapping_entry()

However, for page cache pages removed in invalidate_mapping_pages()
there is an additional criteria which is that the page must not be
mapped.  This is noted in the comments above invalidate_mapping_pages()
and is checked in invalidate_inode_page().

For DAX entries this means that we can can end up in a situation where a
DAX exceptional entry, either a huge zero page or a regular DAX entry,
could end up mapped but without an associated radix tree entry.  This is
inconsistent with the rest of the DAX code and with what happens in the
page cache case.

We aren't able to unmap the DAX exceptional entry because according to
its comments invalidate_mapping_pages() isn't allowed to block, and
unmap_mapping_range() takes a write lock on the mapping->i_mmap_rwsem.

Since we essentially never have unmapped DAX entries to evict from the
radix tree, just remove dax_invalidate_mapping_entry().

Fixes: c6dcf52c23 ("mm: Invalidate DAX radix tree entries only if appropriate")

ef51042472 block, dax: move "select DAX" from BLOCK to FS_DAX
For configurations that do not enable DAX filesystems or drivers, do not
require the DAX core to be built.

Given that the 'direct_access' method has been removed from
'block_device_operations', we can also go ahead and remove the
block-related dax helper functions from fs/block_dev.c to
drivers/dax/super.c. This keeps dax details out of the block layer and
lets the DAX core be built as a module in the FS_DAX=n case.

Filesystems need to include dax.h to call bdev_dax_supported().

cccbce6715 filesystem-dax: convert to dax_direct_access()
Now that a dax_device is plumbed through all dax-capable drivers we can
switch from block_device_operations to dax_operations for invoking
->direct_access.

This also lets us kill off some usages of struct blk_dax_ctl on the way
to its eventual removal.

a41fe02b6b Revert "block: use DAX for partition table reads"
commit d1a5f2b4d8 ("block: use DAX for partition table reads") was
part of a stalled effort to allow dax mappings of block devices. Since
then the device-dax mechanism has filled the role of dax-mapping static
device ranges.

Now that we are moving ->direct_access() from a block_device operation
to a dax_inode operation we would need block devices to map and carry
their own dax_inode reference.

Unless / until we decide to revive dax mapping of raw block devices
through the dax_inode scheme, there is no need to carry
read_dax_sector(). Its removal in turn allows for the removal of
bdev_direct_access() and should have been included in commit
2237570168 ("block_dev: remove DAX leftovers").

b0686260fe dax: introduce dax_direct_access()
Replace bdev_direct_access() with dax_direct_access() that uses
dax_device and dax_operations instead of a block_device and
block_device_operations for dax. Once all consumers of the old api have
been converted bdev_direct_access() will be deleted.

Given that block device partitioning decisions can cause dax page
alignment constraints to be violated this also introduces the
bdev_dax_pgoff() helper. It handles calculating a logical pgoff relative
to the dax_device and also checks for page alignment.

6568b08b77 dax: introduce dax_operations
Track a set of dax_operations per dax_device that can be set at
alloc_dax() time. These operations will be used to stop the abuse of
block_device_operations for communicating dax capabilities to
filesystems. It will also be used to replace the "pmem api" and move
pmem-specific cache maintenance, and other dax-driver-specific
filesystem-dax operations, to dax device methods. In particular this
allows us to stop abusing __copy_user_nocache(), via memcpy_to_pmem(),
with a driver specific replacement.

This is a standalone introduction of the operations. Follow on patches
convert each dax-driver and teach fs/dax.c to use ->direct_access() from
dax_operations instead of block_device_operations.

7205800541 dax: add a facility to lookup a dax device by 'host' device name
For the current block_device based filesystem-dax path, we need a way
for it to lookup the dax_device associated with a block_device. Add a
'host' property of a dax_device that can be used for this purpose. It is
a free form string, but for a dax_device associated with a block device
it is the bdev name.

This is a stop-gap until filesystems are able to mount on a dax-inode
directly.

7b6be8444e dax: refactor dax-fs into a generic provider of 'struct dax_device' instances
We want dax capable drivers to be able to publish a set of dax
operations [1]. However, we do not want to further abuse block_devices
to advertise these operations. Instead we will attach these operations
to a dax device and add a lookup mechanism to go from block device path
to a dax device. A dax capable driver like pmem or brd is responsible
for registering a dax device, alongside a block device, and then a dax
capable filesystem is responsible for retrieving the dax device by path
name if it wants to call dax_operations.

For now, we refactor the dax pseudo-fs to be a generic facility, rather
than an implementation detail, of the device-dax use case. Where a "dax
device" is just an inode + dax infrastructure, and "Device DAX" is a
mapping service layered on top of that base 'struct dax_device'.
"Filesystem DAX" is then a mapping service that layers a filesystem on
top of that same base device. Filesystem DAX is associated with a
block_device for now, but perhaps directly to a dax device in the
future, or for new pmem-only filesystems.

c791ace1e7 mm: replace FAULT_FLAG_SIZE with parameter to huge_fault
Since the introduction of FAULT_FLAG_SIZE to the vm_fault flag, it has
been somewhat painful with getting the flags set and removed at the
correct locations.  More than one kernel oops was introduced due to
difficulties of getting the placement correctly.

Remove the flag values and introduce an input parameter to huge_fault
that indicates the size of the page entry.  This makes the code easier
to trace and should avoid the issues we see with the fault flags where
removal of the flag was necessary in the fallback paths.

a2d581675d mm,fs,dax: change ->pmd_fault to ->huge_fault
Patch series "1G transparent hugepage support for device dax", v2.

The following series implements support for 1G trasparent hugepage on
x86 for device dax.  The bulk of the code was written by Mathew Wilcox a
while back supporting transparent 1G hugepage for fs DAX.  I have
forward ported the relevant bits to 4.10-rc.  The current submission has
only the necessary code to support device DAX.

Comments from Dan Williams: So the motivation and intended user of this
functionality mirrors the motivation and users of 1GB page support in
hugetlbfs.  Given expected capacities of persistent memory devices an
in-memory database may want to reduce tlb pressure beyond what they can
already achieve with 2MB mappings of a device-dax file.  We have
customer feedback to that effect as Willy mentioned in his previous
version of these patches [1].

[1]: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/1/31/52

Comments from Nilesh @ Oracle:

There are applications which have a process model; and if you assume
10,000 processes attempting to mmap all the 6TB memory available on a
server; we are looking at the following:

processes         : 10,000
memory            :    6TB
pte @ 4k page size: 8 bytes / 4K of memory * #processes = 6TB / 4k * 8 * 10000 = 1.5GB * 80000 = 120,000GB
pmd @ 2M page size: 120,000 / 512 = ~240GB
pud @ 1G page size: 240GB / 512 = ~480MB

As you can see with 2M pages, this system will use up an exorbitant
amount of DRAM to hold the page tables; but the 1G pages finally brings
it down to a reasonable level.  Memory sizes will keep increasing; so
this number will keep increasing.

An argument can be made to convert the applications from process model
to thread model, but in the real world that may not be always practical.
Hopefully this helps explain the use case where this is valuable.

This patch (of 3):

In preparation for adding the ability to handle PUD pages, convert
vm_operations_struct.pmd_fault to vm_operations_struct.huge_fault.  The
vm_fault structure is extended to include a union of the different page
table pointers that may be needed, and three flag bits are reserved to
indicate which type of pointer is in the union.

c6dcf52c23 mm: Invalidate DAX radix tree entries only if appropriate
Currently invalidate_inode_pages2_range() and invalidate_mapping_pages()
just delete all exceptional radix tree entries they find. For DAX this
is not desirable as we track cache dirtiness in these entries and when
they are evicted, we may not flush caches although it is necessary. This
can for example manifest when we write to the same block both via mmap
and via write(2) (to different offsets) and fsync(2) then does not
properly flush CPU caches when modification via write(2) was the last
one.

Create appropriate DAX functions to handle invalidation of DAX entries
for invalidate_inode_pages2_range() and invalidate_mapping_pages() and
wire them up into the corresponding mm functions.

642261ac99 dax: add struct iomap based DAX PMD support
DAX PMDs have been disabled since Jan Kara introduced DAX radix tree based
locking.  This patch allows DAX PMDs to participate in the DAX radix tree
based locking scheme so that they can be re-enabled using the new struct
iomap based fault handlers.

There are currently three types of DAX 4k entries: 4k zero pages, 4k DAX
mappings that have an associated block allocation, and 4k DAX empty
entries.  The empty entries exist to provide locking for the duration of a
given page fault.

This patch adds three equivalent 2MiB DAX entries: Huge Zero Page (HZP)
entries, PMD DAX entries that have associated block allocations, and 2 MiB
DAX empty entries.

Unlike the 4k case where we insert a struct page* into the radix tree for
4k zero pages, for HZP we insert a DAX exceptional entry with the new
RADIX_DAX_HZP flag set.  This is because we use a single 2 MiB zero page in
every 2MiB hole mapping, and it doesn't make sense to have that same struct
page* with multiple entries in multiple trees.  This would cause contention
on the single page lock for the one Huge Zero Page, and it would break the
page->index and page->mapping associations that are assumed to be valid in
many other places in the kernel.

One difficult use case is when one thread is trying to use 4k entries in
radix tree for a given offset, and another thread is using 2 MiB entries
for that same offset.  The current code handles this by making the 2 MiB
user fall back to 4k entries for most cases.  This was done because it is
the simplest solution, and because the use of 2MiB pages is already
opportunistic.

If we were to try to upgrade from 4k pages to 2MiB pages for a given range,
we run into the problem of how we lock out 4k page faults for the entire
2MiB range while we clean out the radix tree so we can insert the 2MiB
entry.  We can solve this problem if we need to, but I think that the cases
where both 2MiB entries and 4K entries are being used for the same range
will be rare enough and the gain small enough that it probably won't be
worth the complexity.

fa28f7296a dax: move RADIX_DAX_* defines to dax.h
The RADIX_DAX_* defines currently mostly live in fs/dax.c, with just
RADIX_DAX_ENTRY_LOCK being in include/linux/dax.h so it can be used in
mm/filemap.c.  When we add PMD support, though, mm/filemap.c will also need
access to the RADIX_DAX_PTE type so it can properly construct a 4k sized
empty entry.

Instead of shifting the defines between dax.c and dax.h as they are
individually used in other code, just move them wholesale to dax.h so
they'll be available when we need them.

11c59c92f4 dax: correct dax iomap code namespace
The recently added DAX functions that use the new struct iomap data
structure were named iomap_dax_rw(), iomap_dax_fault() and
iomap_dax_actor().  These are actually defined in fs/dax.c, though, so
should be part of the "dax" namespace and not the "iomap" namespace.
Rename them to dax_iomap_rw(), dax_iomap_fault() and dax_iomap_actor()
respectively.

b9fde0462e dax: remove dax_pmd_fault()
dax_pmd_fault() is the old struct buffer_head + get_block_t based 2 MiB DAX
fault handler.  This fault handler has been disabled for several kernel
releases, and support for PMDs will be reintroduced using the struct iomap
interface instead.
