Subject: [PATCH 9/9] ext4: add per-inode DAX flag
Follow the lead of XFS and add a per-inode flag that allows the choice of
whether or not to use DAX to be made for individual files. As with XFS
this flag can also be set on a directory, in which case it will be
inherited by new inodes (both subdirectories and files) created within that
directory.
This inode flag can be viewed and manipulated using xfs_io, just as is done
with the XFS version of this flag:
# mount /dev/pmem0 /mnt/
# mount | grep /mnt
/dev/pmem0 on /mnt type ext4 (rw,relatime,seclabel,data=ordered)
# touch /mnt/a
# xfs_io -c lsattr /mnt/a
---------------- /mnt/a
# xfs_io -c 'chattr +x' /mnt/a
# xfs_io -c lsattr /mnt/a
--------------x- /mnt/a
We will use DAX in ext4 if either the mount option is used or if the inode
flag is set.
The 'chattr +x' functionality of xfs_io has been in place for foreign
filesystems (ext4) since xfsprogs v4.8.0. Support for 'lsattr' on foreign
filesystems was added with:
commit e13a325cd7a9 ("xfs_io: allow lsattr & lsproj on foreign filesystems")
which can currently be found in the "for-next" branch.
The rules for the per-inode DAX flag in ext4 are pretty much the same as
the rules for the '-o dax' mount option:
1) When DAX and journaling are both requested on the same inode, journaling
will win and DAX will be turned off. The S_DAX transitions due to
journaling mode changes are done safely by locking out page faults and I/O,
doing a writeback and an invalidate.
2) The DAX inode flag will fail with -EINVAL for filesystems that can
contain inline data.
3) If you try and use DAX on an encrypted inode, the inode will accept the
DAX inode flag but DAX will never be used.
Signed-off-by: Ross Zwisler <ross.zwisler@...ux.intel.com>
---
The behavior of the DAX inode flag when combined with journaling, inline
data and encryption was meant to stay as consistent as possible with the
'-o dax' mount option. If there is a better way to handle these conflics,
please let me know.
