Subject: [PATCH v10 00/21] Support ext4 on NV-DIMMs
Date: Tue, 26 Aug 2014 23:45:20 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1409110741.git.matthew.r.wilcox@intel.com> (raw)
One of the primary uses for NV-DIMMs is to expose them as a block device
and use a filesystem to store files on the NV-DIMM. While that works,
it currently wastes memory and CPU time buffering the files in the page
cache. We have support in ext2 for bypassing the page cache, but it
has some races which are unfixable in the current design. This series
of patches rewrite the underlying support, and add support for direct
access to ext4.
Note that patch 6/21 has been included in
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs.git/log/?h=for-next-candidate
This iteration of the patchset rebases to 3.17-rc2, changes the page fault
locking, fixes a couple of bugs and makes a few other minor changes.
- Move the calculation of the maximum size available at the requested
location from the ->direct_access implementations to bdev_direct_access()
- Fix a comment typo (Ross Zwisler)
- Check that the requested length is positive in bdev_direct_access(). If
it is not, assume that it's an errno, and just return it.
- Fix some whitespace issues flagged by checkpatch
- Added the Acked-by responses from Kirill that I forget in the last round
- Added myself to MAINTAINERS for DAX
- Fixed compilation with !CONFIG_DAX (Vishal Verma)
- Revert the locking in the page fault handler back to an earlier version.
If we hit the race that we were trying to protect against, we will leave
blocks allocated past the end of the file. They will be removed on file
removal, the next truncate, or fsck.
