After seeking time on testing today upstream fsdax, I found it
actually doesn't work well as below:

[  186.492983] ------------[ cut here ]------------
[  186.493629] WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 205 at fs/iomap/iter.c:33 iomap_iter+0x2f6/0x310

The problem is that m_dax_part_off should be applied to physical
addresses and very sorry about that I didn't catch this eariler.

Anyway, let's fix it up now. Also, I need to find a way to set up
a standalone testcase to look after this later.

Pull dax and libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
 "The bulk of this is a rework of the dax_operations API after
  discovering the obstacles it posed to the work-in-progress DAX+reflink
  support for XFS and other copy-on-write filesystem mechanics.

  Primarily the need to plumb a block_device through the API to handle
  partition offsets was a sticking point and Christoph untangled that
  dependency in addition to other cleanups to make landing the
  DAX+reflink support easier.

  The DAX_PMEM_COMPAT option has been around for 4 years and not only
  are distributions shipping userspace that understand the current
  configuration API, but some are not even bothering to turn this option
  on anymore, so it seems a good time to remove it per the deprecation
  schedule. Recall that this was added after the device-dax subsystem
  moved from /sys/class/dax to /sys/bus/dax for its sysfs organization.
  All recent functionality depends on /sys/bus/dax.

  Some other miscellaneous cleanups and reflink prep patches are
  included as well.

  Summary:

   - Simplify the dax_operations API:

      - Eliminate bdev_dax_pgoff() in favor of the filesystem
        maintaining and applying a partition offset to all its DAX iomap
        operations.

      - Remove wrappers and device-mapper stacked callbacks for
        -&gt;copy_from_iter() and -&gt;copy_to_iter() in favor of moving
        block_device relative offset responsibility to the
        dax_direct_access() caller.

      - Remove the need for an @bdev in filesystem-DAX infrastructure

      - Remove unused uio helpers copy_from_iter_flushcache() and
        copy_mc_to_iter() as only the non-check_copy_size() versions are
        used for DAX.

   - Prepare XFS for the pending (next merge window) DAX+reflink support

   - Remove deprecated DEV_DAX_PMEM_COMPAT support

   - Cleanup a straggling misuse of the GUID api"

Finally, erofs_get_meta_page() is useless. Get rid of it!

In order to support subpage and folio for all uncompressed files,
introduce meta buffer descriptors, which can be effectively stored
on stack, in place of meta page operations.

This converts the uncompressed data path to meta buffers.

Pull gfs2 mmap + page fault deadlocks fixes from Andreas Gruenbacher:
 "Functions gfs2_file_read_iter and gfs2_file_write_iter are both
  accessing the user buffer to write to or read from while holding the
  inode glock.

  In the most basic deadlock scenario, that buffer will not be resident
  and it will be mapped to the same file. Accessing the buffer will
  trigger a page fault, and gfs2 will deadlock trying to take the same
  inode glock again while trying to handle that fault.

  Fix that and similar, more complex scenarios by disabling page faults
  while accessing user buffers. To make this work, introduce a small
  amount of new infrastructure and fix some bugs that didn't trigger so
  far, with page faults enabled"

<title>iomap: Add done_before argument to iomap_dio_rw</title>

Add a done_before argument to iomap_dio_rw that indicates how much of
the request has already been transferred.  When the request succeeds, we
report that done_before additional bytes were tranferred.  This is
useful for finishing a request asynchronously when part of the request
has already been completed synchronously.

We'll use that to allow iomap_dio_rw to be used with page faults
disabled: when a page fault occurs while submitting a request, we
synchronously complete the part of the request that has already been
submitted.  The caller can then take care of the page fault and call
iomap_dio_rw again for the rest of the request, passing in the number of
bytes already tranferred.

useful for finishing a request asynchronously when part of the request
has already been completed synchronously.

We'll use that to allow iomap_dio_rw to be used with page faults
disabled: when a page fault occurs while submitting a request, we
synchronously complete the part of the request that has already been
submitted.  The caller can then take care of the page fault and call
iomap_dio_rw again for the rest of the request, passing in the number of
bytes already tranferred.

In order to support multi-layer container images, add multiple
device feature to EROFS. Two ways are available to use for now:

 - Devices can be mapped into 32-bit global block address space;
 - Device ID can be specified with the chunk indexes format.

Note that it assumes no extent would cross device boundary and mkfs
should take care of it seriously.

In the future, a dedicated device manager could be introduced then
thus extra devices can be automatically scanned by UUID as well.
