Wong" <djwong@...nel.org>, linux-fsdevel@...r.kernel.org, linux-xfs@...r.kernel.org, david@...morbit.com, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, sandeen@...deen.net, hch@....de, linux-ext4 <linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org>, Theodore Ts'o <tytso@....edu>, ira.weiny@...el.com Subject: [GIT PULL] vfs: improve DAX behavior for 5.8, part 3 Hi Linus, Please pull this third part of the 5.8 DAX changes. Now that the xfs changes have landed, this third piece changes the FS_XFLAG_DAX ioctl code in xfs to request that the inode be reloaded after the last program closes the file, if doing so would make a S_DAX change happen. This goal here is to make dax access mode switching quicker when possible. I did a test merge of this branch against upstream this evening and there weren't any conflicts. The first five patches in the series were already in the xfs merge, so it's only the last one that should change anything. Please let us know if you have any complaints about pulling this, since I can rework the branch. --D The following changes since commit 2c567af418e3f9380c2051aada58b4e5a4b5c2ad: fs: Introduce DCACHE_DONTCACHE (2020-05-13 08:44:35 -0700) are available in the Git repository at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/xfs/xfs-linux.git tags/vfs-5.8-merge-3 for you to fetch changes up to e4f9ba20d3b8c2b86ec71f326882e1a3c4e47953: fs/xfs: Update xfs_ioctl_setattr_dax_invalidate() (2020-05-29 20:13:20 -0700) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Third part of new DAX code for 5.8: - Teach XFS to ask the VFS to drop an inode if the administrator changes the FS_XFLAG_DAX inode flag such that the S_DAX state would change. This can result in files changing access modes without requiring an unmount cycle. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Ira Weiny (6): fs/xfs: Remove unnecessary initialization of i_rwsem fs/xfs: Change XFS_MOUNT_DAX to XFS_MOUNT_DAX_ALWAYS fs/xfs: Make DAX mount option a tri-state fs/xfs: Create function xfs_inode_should_enable_dax() fs/xfs: Combine xfs_diflags_to_linux() and xfs_diflags_to_iflags() fs/xfs: Update xfs_ioctl_setattr_dax_invalidate() fs/xfs/xfs_icache.c | 4 +- fs/xfs/xfs_inode.h | 1 + fs/xfs/xfs_ioctl.c | 141 ++++++++-------------------------------------------- fs/xfs/xfs_iops.c | 70 +++++++++++++++++--------- fs/xfs/xfs_mount.h | 4 +- fs/xfs/xfs_super.c | 48 ++++++++++++++++-- 6 files changed, 115 insertions(+), 153 deletions(-)
