We return IOMAP_F_NEEDDSYNC flag from ext4_iomap_begin() for a
synchronous write fault when inode has some uncommitted metadata
changes. In the fault handler ext4_dax_fault() we then detect this case,
call vfs_fsync_range() to make sure all metadata is committed, and call
dax_pfn_mkwrite() to mark PTE as writeable. Note that this will also
dirty corresponding radix tree entry which is what we want - fsync(2)
will still provide data integrity guarantees for applications not using
userspace flushing. And applications using userspace flushing can avoid
calling fsync(2) and thus avoid the performance overhead.

Need to fix up the above line a little -
s/dax_pfn_mkwrite/dax_insert_pfn_mkwrite/, and we insert the PTE as well as
make it writeable.

The above comment is out of date.

In fs/dax.c we always use PMD_SIZE.  It looks like HPAGE_PMD_SIZE and PMD_SIZE
are always the same (from include/linux/huge_mm.h, the only defintion of
HPAGE_PMD_SIZE):

#define HPAGE_PMD_SHIFT PMD_SHIFT
#define HPAGE_PMD_SIZE	((1UL) << HPAGE_PMD_SHIFT)

and AFAICT PMD_SIZE is defined to be 1<<PMD_SHIFT for all architectures as
well.  I don't understand why we have both?

In any case, neither HPAGE_PMD_SIZE nor PMD_SIZE are used anywhere else in the
ext4 code, so can we use PMD_SIZE here for consistency?  If they ever did
manage to be different, I think we'd want PMD_SIZE anyway.

With those nits and an updated changelog:

Yeah, I've changed that to PMD_SIZE.

Maybe split the error handling refactor into a simple prep patch to
make this one more readable?

I think this needs to become a helper exported from the DAX code,
way too much magic inside the file system as-is.

OK, will do.

Good point, there isn't anything fs specific in there.

Why is this only wiered up for the huge_fault handler and not the
regular?

Ah, turns out ext4 implements ->fault in terms of ->huge_fault.

We'll really need to sort out this mess of fault handlers before
doing too much surgery here..

We do handle both. Just ext4 naming is a bit confusing and ext4_dax_fault()
uses ext4_dax_huge_fault() for handling.
