[PATCH v5 4/7] dax: add support for fsync/sync

Ross Zwisler
2015-12-19T05:22:36Z

To properly handle fsync/msync in an efficient way DAX needs to track dirty
pages so it is able to flush them durably to media on demand.

The tracking of dirty pages is done via the radix tree in struct
address_space. This radix tree is already used by the page writeback
infrastructure for tracking dirty pages associated with an open file, and
it already has support for exceptional (non struct page*) entries. We
build upon these features to add exceptional entries to the radix tree for
DAX dirty PMD or PTE pages at fault time.
