This patch adds 'DAXDEV_SYNC' flag which is set
for nd_region doing synchronous flush. This later
is used to disable MAP_SYNC functionality for
ext4 & xfs filesystem for devices don't support
synchronous flush.

Apologies for not realizing this until now, but this is broken.
Imaging a device-mapper configuration composed of both 'async'
virtio-pmem and 'sync' pmem. The 'sync' flag needs to be unified
across all members. I would change this argument to '0' and then
arrange for it to be set at dm_table_supports_dax() time after
validating that all components support synchronous dax.

o.k. Need to set 'DAXDEV_F_SYNC' flag after verifying all the target
components support synchronous DAX.

Just a question, If device mapper configuration have composed of both 
virtio-pmem or pmem devices, we want to configure device mapper for async flush?

Thank you,

If it's composed of both then, yes, it needs to be async flush at the
device-mapper level. Otherwise MAP_SYNC will succeed and fail to
trigger fsync on the host file when necessary for the virtio-pmem
backed portion of the device-mapper device.

Hi Dan,

While testing device mapper with DAX, I faced a bug with the commit:

commit ad428cdb525a97d15c0349fdc80f3d58befb50df
Author: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>
Date:   Wed Feb 20 21:12:50 2019 -0800

When I reverted the condition to old code[1] it worked for me. I 
am thinking when we map two different devices (e.g with device mapper), will 
start & end pfn still point to same pgmap? Or there is something else which
I am missing here. 

Note: I tested only EXT4.

[1]

-               if (pgmap && pgmap->type == MEMORY_DEVICE_FS_DAX)
+               end_pgmap = get_dev_pagemap(pfn_t_to_pfn(end_pfn), NULL);
+               if (pgmap && pgmap == end_pgmap && pgmap->type == MEMORY_DEVICE_FS_DAX
+                               && pfn_t_to_page(pfn)->pgmap == pgmap
+                               && pfn_t_to_page(end_pfn)->pgmap == pgmap
+                               && pfn_t_to_pfn(pfn) == PHYS_PFN(__pa(kaddr))
+                               && pfn_t_to_pfn(end_pfn) == PHYS_PFN(__pa(end_kaddr)))
                        dax_enabled = true;
                put_dev_pagemap(pgmap);

Thanks,
Pankaj

Ugh, yes, device-mapper continues to be an awkward fit for dax (or
vice versa). We would either need a way to have a multi-level pfn to
pagemap lookup for composite devices, or a way to discern that even
though the pagemap is different that the result is still valid / not
an indication that we have leaked into an unassociated address range.
Perhaps a per-daxdev callback for ->dax_supported() so that
device-mapper internals can be used for this validation.

We need to get that fixed up, but I don't see it as a blocker /
pre-requisite for virtio-pmem.

Yes, Will look at it.

Agree. Will send virtio-pmem patch series.
