Commit Message

Add a dax operation zero_page_range, to zero a range of memory. This will
also clear any poison in the range being zeroed.

As of now, zeroing of up to one page is allowed in a single call. There
are no callers which are trying to zero more than a page in a single call.
Once we grow the callers which zero more than a page in single call, we
can add that support. Primary reason for not doing that yet is that this
will add little complexity in dm implementation where a range might be
spanning multiple underlying targets and one will have to split the range
into multiple sub ranges and call zero_page_range() on individual targets.

This seems too late to be doing the validation. It would be odd for
random filesystem operations to see this error. I would move the check
to alloc_dax() and fail that if the caller fails to implement the
operation.

An incremental patch on top to fix this up would be ok. Something like
"Now that all dax_operations providers implement zero_page_range()
mandate it at alloc_dax time".

Hi Dan,

Ok, I will send an incremental patch for this.

BTW, I have posted V6 of this patch series and you might want to look
at that instead of V5.
