Subject: [PATCH v4 1/9] dax: add fsdev_dax_from_file()
Date: Thu, 8 Oct 2026 13:19:52 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261008112004.1899560-2-mszeredi@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261008112004.1899560-1-mszeredi@redhat.com>
From: John Groves <John@Groves.net>
If the file is a fsdev_dax open, take the dax_dev from the device inode's
i_cdev. Return with a reference grabbed on the private dax inode.
Make dax_dev_get() static again (internal to super.c for alloc_dax), export
fsdev_dax_from_file() instead.
This fix is in response to a Sashiko review, and some subsequent analysis.
About the 'fixes' tag: this removes the export of dax_dev_get(), which was
flawed, and replaces it with fsdev_dax_from_file(). It feels like the fixes
tag makes sense for correcting an ABI error.
Fixes: 2ae624d5a555d ("dax: export dax_dev_get()")
