Subject: [PATCH 0/2] fsdax,xfs: fix warning messages

Many testcases failed in dax+reflink mode with warning message in dmesg.
This also effects dax+noreflink mode if we run the test after a
dax+reflink test.  So, the most urgent thing is solving the warning
messages.

Patch 1 fixes some mistakes and adds handling of CoW cases not
previously considered (srcmap is HOLE or UNWRITTEN).
Patch 2 adds the implementation of unshare for fsdax.

With these fixes, most warning messages in dax_associate_entry() are
gone.  But honestly, generic/388 will randomly failed with the warning.
The case shutdown the xfs when fsstress is running, and do it for many
times.  I think the reason is that dax pages in use are not able to be
invalidated in time when fs is shutdown.  The next time dax page to be
associated, it still remains the mapping value set last time.  I'll keep
on solving it.

The warning message in dax_writeback_one() can also be fixed because of
the dax unshare.

Shiyang Ruan (2):
  fsdax,xfs: fix warning messages at dax_[dis]associate_entry()
  fsdax,xfs: port unshare to fsdax
