Commit Message

Introduce a PAGE_MAPPING_DAX_COW flag to support association with CoW file
mappings.  In this case, the dax-RMAP already takes the responsibility
to look up for shared files by given dax page.  The page->mapping is no
longer to used for rmap but for marking that this dax page is shared.
And to make sure disassociation works fine, we use page->index as
refcount, and clear page->mapping to the initial state when page->index
is decreased to 0.

With the help of this new flag, it is able to distinguish normal case
and CoW case, and keep the warning in normal case.

Where is the caller that passes 'true'? Also when that caller arrives
introduce a separate dax_associate_cow_entry() as that's easier to
read than dax_associate_entry(..., true) in case someone does not
remember what that boolean flag means.

However, it's not clear to me that this approach is a good idea given
that the filesystem is the source of truth for how many address_spaces
this page mapping might be duplicated. What about a iomap_page_ops for
fsdax to ask the filesystem when it is ok to clear the mapping
association for a page?

This flag is supposed to be used when CoW support is introduced.  When 
it is a CoW operation, which is decided by iomap & srcmap's flag, this 
flag will be set true.

I think I should describe it in detail in the commit message.

I'll think how to implement it in this way.

Ok, so should this patch wait and be a part of that series? It's
otherwise confusing to introduce a new capability in a patch set and
not take advantage of it until a separate / later patch set.

That could help, or move it to the COW support series.
