__fsdev_dax_direct_access() returns -EFAULT without setting *kaddr when
dax_pgoff_to_phys() returns -1 (pgoff out of range). The return value
was ignored, leaving kaddr uninitialized before being passed to
fsdev_write_dax().

Check the return value and propagate the error.

<title>dax: Add dax_set_ops() for setting dax_operations at bind time</title>

<id>700ecbc1f5aa02ba9ad68d7be1ef7a9c8eae07e9</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a new dax_set_ops() function that allows drivers to set the
dax_operations after the dax_device has been allocated. This is needed
for fsdev_dax where the operations need to be set during probe and
cleared during unbind.

The fsdev driver uses devm_add_action_or_reset() for cleanup consistency,
avoiding the complexity of mixing devm-managed resources with manual
cleanup in a remove() callback. This ensures cleanup happens automatically
in the correct reverse order when the device is unbound.

<title>dax: Add dax_operations for use by fs-dax on fsdev dax</title>

fsdev: Add dax_operations for use by famfs.

This replicates the functionality from drivers/nvdimm/pmem.c that
conventional fs-dax file systems (e.g. xfs) use to support dax
read/write/mmap to a daxdev - without which famfs can't sit atop a
daxdev.

- These methods are based on pmem_dax_ops from drivers/nvdimm/pmem.c
- fsdev_dax_direct_access() returns the hpa, pfn and kva. The kva was
  newly stored as dev_dax-&gt;virt_addr by dev_dax_probe().
- The hpa/pfn are used for mmap (dax_iomap_fault()), and the kva is used
  for read/write (dax_iomap_rw())
- fsdev_dax_recovery_write() and dev_dax_zero_page_range() have not been
  tested yet. I'm looking for suggestions as to how to test those.
- dax-private.h: add dev_dax-&gt;cached_size, which fsdev needs to
  remember. The dev_dax size cannot change while a driver is bound
  (dev_dax_resize returns -EBUSY if dev-&gt;driver is set). Caching the size
  at probe time allows fsdev's direct_access path can use it without
  acquiring dax_dev_rwsem (which isn't exported anyway).

Save the kva from memremap because we need it for iomap rw support.

Prior to famfs, there were no iomap users of /dev/dax - so the virtual
address from memremap was not needed.

<title>dax: add fsdev.c driver for fs-dax on character dax</title>

<id>d5406bd458b0ac10b1301a4d5801d85c8f648637</id>
<content type='text'>
The new fsdev driver provides pages/folios initialized compatibly with
fsdax - normal rather than devdax-style refcounting, and starting out
with order-0 folios.

When fsdev binds to a daxdev, it is usually (always?) switching from the
devdax mode (device.c), which pre-initializes compound folios according
to its alignment. Fsdev uses fsdev_clear_folio_state() to switch the
folios into a fsdax-compatible state.

A side effect of this is that raw mmap doesn't (can't?) work on an fsdev
dax instance. Accordingly, The fsdev driver does not provide raw mmap -
devices must be put in 'devdax' mode (drivers/dax/device.c) to get raw
mmap capability.

In this commit is just the framework, which remaps pages/folios compatibly
with fsdax.

Enabling dax changes:

- bus.h: add DAXDRV_FSDEV_TYPE driver type
- bus.c: allow DAXDRV_FSDEV_TYPE drivers to bind to daxdevs
- dax.h: prototype inode_dax(), which fsdev needs
