As reported by Arnd:

Compiling with the following configuration:

  # CONFIG_EXT2_FS is not set
  # CONFIG_EXT4_FS is not set
  # CONFIG_XFS_FS is not set
  # CONFIG_FS_IOMAP depends on the above filesystems, as is not set
  CONFIG_FS_DAX=y

generates build warnings about unused functions in fs/dax.c:

  fs/dax.c:878:12: warning: `dax_insert_mapping' defined but not used [-Wunused-function]
   static int dax_insert_mapping(struct address_space *mapping,
              ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  fs/dax.c:572:12: warning: `copy_user_dax' defined but not used [-Wunused-function]
   static int copy_user_dax(struct block_device *bdev, sector_t sector, size_t size,
              ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
  fs/dax.c:542:12: warning: `dax_load_hole' defined but not used [-Wunused-function]
   static int dax_load_hole(struct address_space *mapping, void **entry,
              ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
  fs/dax.c:312:14: warning: `grab_mapping_entry' defined but not used [-Wunused-function]
   static void *grab_mapping_entry(struct address_space *mapping, pgoff_t index,
                ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now that the struct buffer_head based DAX fault paths and I/O path have
been removed we really depend on iomap support being present for DAX.
Make this explicit by selecting FS_IOMAP if we compile in DAX support.

This allows us to remove conditional selections of FS_IOMAP when FS_DAX
was present for ext2 and ext4, and to remove an #ifdef in fs/dax.c.

Pull vfs updates from Al Viro:

 - more -&gt;d_init() stuff (work.dcache)

 - pathname resolution cleanups (work.namei)

 - a few missing iov_iter primitives - copy_from_iter_full() and
   friends. Either copy the full requested amount, advance the iterator
   and return true, or fail, return false and do _not_ advance the
   iterator. Quite a few open-coded callers converted (and became more
   readable and harder to fuck up that way) (work.iov_iter)

 - several assorted patches, the big one being logfs removal

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  logfs: remove from tree
  vfs: fix put_compat_statfs64() does not handle errors
  namei: fold should_follow_link() with the step into not-followed link
  namei: pass both WALK_GET and WALK_MORE to should_follow_link()
  namei: invert WALK_PUT logics
  namei: shift interpretation of LOOKUP_FOLLOW inside should_follow_link()
  namei: saner calling conventions for mountpoint_last()
  namei.c: get rid of user_path_parent()
  switch getfrag callbacks to ..._full() primitives
  make skb_add_data,{_nocache}() and skb_copy_to_page_nocache() advance only on success
  [iov_iter] new primitives - copy_from_iter_full() and friends

Logfs was introduced to the kernel in 2009, and hasn't seen any non
drive-by changes since 2012, while having lots of unsolved issues
including the complete lack of error handling, with more and more
issues popping up without any fixes.

The logfs.org domain has been bouncing from a mail, and the maintainer
on the non-logfs.org domain hasn't repsonded to past queries either.

As Oleg suggested, replace file_lock_list with a structure containing
the hlist head and a spinlock.

This completely removes the lglock from fs/locks.

     a new sunrpc.svc_rpc_per_connection_limit parameter should help
     mitigate this in the (hopefully unlikely) event this becomes a
     problem in practice.

   - Tom Haynes added a minimal flex-layout pnfs server, which is of no
     use in production for now--don't build it unless you're doing
     client testing or further server development"

Add infrastructure for multipage buffered writes.  This is implemented
using an main iterator that applies an actor function to a range that
can be written.

This infrastucture is used to implement a buffered write helper, one
to zero file ranges and one to implement the -&gt;page_mkwrite VM
operations.  All of them borrow a fair amount of code from fs/buffers.
for now by using an internal version of __block_write_begin that
gets passed an iomap and builds the corresponding buffer head.

The file system is gets a set of paired -&gt;iomap_begin and -&gt;iomap_end
calls which allow it to map/reserve a range and get a notification
once the write code is finished with it.

Based on earlier code from Dave Chinner.

<title>dax: Make huge page handling depend of CONFIG_BROKEN</title>

Currently the handling of huge pages for DAX is racy. For example the
following can happen:

CPU0 (THP write fault)			CPU1 (normal read fault)

__dax_pmd_fault()			__dax_fault()
  get_block(inode, block, &amp;bh, 0) -&gt; not mapped
					get_block(inode, block, &amp;bh, 0)
					  -&gt; not mapped
  if (!buffer_mapped(&amp;bh) &amp;&amp; write)
    get_block(inode, block, &amp;bh, 1) -&gt; allocates blocks
  truncate_pagecache_range(inode, lstart, lend);
					dax_load_hole();

This results in data corruption since process on CPU1 won't see changes
into the file done by CPU0.

The race can happen even if two normal faults race however with THP the
situation is even worse because the two faults don't operate on the same
entries in the radix tree and we want to use these entries for
serialization. So make THP support in DAX code depend on CONFIG_BROKEN
for now.
