Not included here, but still targeting this cycle, is support for handling memory media errors (poison) consumed via userspace dax mappings. Summary: - DAX broke a fundamental assumption of truncate of file mapped pages. The truncate path assumed that it is safe to disconnect a pinned page from a file and let the filesystem reclaim the physical block. With DAX the page is equivalent to the filesystem block. Introduce dax_layout_busy_page() to enable filesystems to wait for pinned DAX pages to be released. Without this wait a filesystem could allocate blocks under active device-DMA to a new file. - DAX arranges for the block layer to be bypassed and uses dax_direct_access() + copy_to_iter() to satisfy read(2) calls. However, the memcpy_mcsafe() facility is available through the pmem block driver. In order to safely handle media errors, via the DAX block-layer bypass, introduce copy_to_iter_mcsafe(). - Fix cache management policy relative to the ACPI NFIT Platform Capabilities Structure to properly elide cache flushes when they are not necessary.
