Implement ocfs2_direct_IO_write. Add the inode to orphan dir first, and then delete it once append O_DIRECT finished. This is to make sure block allocation and inode size are consistent.

Add functions to add inode to orphan dir and remove inode in orphan dir. Here we do not call ocfs2_prepare_orphan_dir and ocfs2_orphan_add directly. Because append O_DIRECT will add inode to orphan two and may result in more than one orphan entry for the same inode.

Currently in case of append O_DIRECT write (block not allocated yet), ocfs2 will fall back to buffered I/O. This has some disadvantages. Firstly, it is not the behavior as expected. Secondly, it will consume huge page cache, e.g. in mass backup scenario. Thirdly, modern filesystems such as ext4 support this feature. In this patch set, the direct I/O write doesn't fallback to buffer I/O write any more because the allocate blocks are enabled in direct I/O now. This patch (of 9): Prepare some interfaces which will be used in append O_DIRECT write.

The DAX code accesses the underlying storage through the kernel's linear mapping, which may not be cache-coherent with user mappings on ARM, MIPS or SPARC. Temporarily disable the DAX code until this problem is resolved. The original XIP code also had this problem, but it was never noticed.

Jan Kara pointed out that calling ext2_xip_verify_sb() in ext2_remount() doesn't make sense, since changing the XIP option on remount isn't allowed. It also doesn't make sense to re-check whether blocksize is supported since it can't change between mounts. Replace the call to ext2_xip_verify_sb() in ext2_fill_super() with the equivalent check and delete the definition.

This is practically generic code; other filesystems will want to call it from other places, but there's nothing ext2-specific about it. Make it a little more generic by allowing it to take a count of the number of bytes to zero rather than fixing it to a single page.

Currently COW of an XIP file is done by first bringing in a read-only mapping, then retrying the fault and copying the page. It is much more efficient to tell the fault handler that a COW is being attempted (by passing in the pre-allocated page in the vm_fault structure), and allow the handler to perform the COW operation itself. The handler cannot insert the page itself if there is already a read-only mapping at that address, so allow the handler to return VM_FAULT_LOCKED and set the fault_page to be NULL. This indicates to the MM code that the i_mmap_lock is held instead of the page lock. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <matthew.r.wilcox@intel.com> Acked-by: Kirill A.

DAX is a replacement for the variation of XIP currently supported by the ext2 filesystem. We have three different things in the tree called 'XIP', and the new focus is on access to data rather than executables, so a name change was in order. DAX stands for Direct Access. The X is for eXciting. The new focus on data access has resulted in more careful attention to races that exist in the current XIP code, but are not hit by the use-case that it was designed for. XIP's architecture worked fine for ext2, but DAX is architected to work with modern filsystems such as ext4 and XFS. DAX is not intended for use with btrfs; the value that btrfs adds relies on manipulating data and writing data to different locations, while DAX's value is for write-in-place and keeping the kernel from touching the data. DAX was developed in order to support NV-DIMMs, but it's become clear that its usefuless extends beyond NV-DIMMs and there are several potential customers including the tracing machinery. Other people want to place the kernel log in an area of memory, as long as they have a BIOS that does not clear DRAM on reboot. Patch 1 is a bug fix, probably worth including in 3.18. Patches 2 & 3 are infrastructure for DAX. Patches 4-8 replace the XIP code with its DAX equivalents, transforming ext2 to use the DAX code as we go. Note that patch 10 is the Documentation patch. Patches 9-15 clean up after the XIP code, removing the infrastructure that is no longer needed and renaming various XIP things to DAX. Most of these patches were added after Jan found things he didn't like in an earlier version of the ext4 patch ... that had been copied from ext2. So ext2 i being transformed to do things the same way that ext4 will later. The ability to mount ext2 filesystems with the 'xip' option is retained, although the 'dax' option is now preferred. Patch 16 adds some DAX infrastructure to support ext4. Patch 17 adds DAX support to ext4. It is broadly similar to ext2's DAX support, but it is more efficient than ext4's due to its support for unwritten extents. Patch 18 is another cleanup patch renaming XIP to DAX. My thanks to Mathieu Desnoyers for his reviews of the v11 patchset. Most of the changes below were based on his feedback. This patch (of 18): Pagecache faults recheck i_size after taking the page lock to ensure that the fault didn't race against a truncate. We don't have a page to lock in the XIP case, so use i_mmap_lock_read() instead. It is locked in the truncate path in unmap_mapping_range() after updating i_size. So while we hold it in the fault path, we are guaranteed that either i_size has already been updated in the truncate path, or that the truncate will subsequently call zap_page_range_single() and so remove the mapping we have just inserted. There is a window of time in which i_size has been reduced and the thread has a mapping to a page which will be removed from the file, but this is harmless as the page will not be allocated to a different purpose before the thread's access to it is revoked.
