Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/8] dax: Add a dax-rmap tree to support reflink

This patchset is a try to resolve the shared 'page cache' problem for
fsdax.

In order to track multiple mappings and indexes on one page, I
introduced a dax-rmap rb-tree to manage the relationship.  A dax entry
will be associated more than once if is shared.  At the second time we
associate this entry, we create this rb-tree and store its root in
page->private(not used in fsdax).  Insert (->mapping, ->index) when
dax_associate_entry() and delete it when dax_disassociate_entry().

We can iterate the dax-rmap rb-tree before any other operations on
mappings of files.  Such as memory-failure and rmap.

Same as before, I borrowed and made some changes on Goldwyn's patchsets.
These patches makes up for the lack of CoW mechanism in fsdax.

The rests are dax & reflink support for xfs.

(Rebased to 5.7-rc2)

Shiyang Ruan (8):
  fs/dax: Introduce dax-rmap btree for reflink
  mm: add dax-rmap for memory-failure and rmap
  fs/dax: Introduce dax_copy_edges() for COW
  fs/dax: copy data before write
  fs/dax: replace mmap entry in case of CoW
  fs/dax: dedup file range to use a compare function
  fs/xfs: handle CoW for fsdax write() path
  fs/xfs: support dedupe for fsdax
