- Fix dm core to use more efficient bio_split() instead of
bio_clone_bioset(). Also fixes splitting bio that has integrity
payload.
- Three fixes related to properly validating DAX capabilities of a
stacked DM device that will advertise DAX support.
- Update DM writecache target to use 2-factor allocator arguments. Kees
says this is the last related change for 4.18.
- Fix DM zoned target to use GFP_NOIO to avoid triggering reclaim during
IO submission (caught by lockdep).
- Fix DM thinp to gracefully recover from running out of data space
while a previous async discard completes (whereby freeing space).
- Fix DM thinp's metadata transaction commit to avoid needless work.
dm: prevent DAX mounts if not supported
Currently device_supports_dax() just checks to see if the QUEUE_FLAG_DAX
flag is set on the device's request queue to decide whether or not the
device supports filesystem DAX. Really we should be using
bdev_dax_supported() like filesystems do at mount time. This performs
other tests like checking to make sure the dax_direct_access() path works.
We also explicitly clear QUEUE_FLAG_DAX on the DM device's request queue if
any of the underlying devices do not support DAX. This makes the handling
of QUEUE_FLAG_DAX consistent with the setting/clearing of most other flags
in dm_table_set_restrictions().
Now that bdev_dax_supported() explicitly checks for QUEUE_FLAG_DAX, this
will ensure that filesystems built upon DM devices will only be able to
mount with DAX if all underlying devices also support DAX.
