All this ad hoc IS_DAX conditional logic is getting pretty nasty.
xfs_file_mmap(
....
{
struct inode *inode = file_inode(filp);
if (vma->vm_flags & VM_SYNC) {
if (!IS_DAX(inode))
return -EOPNOTSUPP;
if (!dax_synchronous(xfs_find_daxdev_for_inode(inode))
return -EOPNOTSUPP;
}
file_accessed(filp);
vma->vm_ops = &xfs_file_vm_ops;
if (IS_DAX(inode))
vma->vm_flags |= VM_HUGEPAGE;
return 0;
}
Sure, this is better.
Even better, factor out all the "MAP_SYNC supported" checks into a
helper so that the filesystem code just doesn't have to care about
the details of checking for DAX+MAP_SYNC support....
o.k. Will add one common helper function for both ext4 & xfs filesystems.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Best regards,
Pankaj
Cheers,
Dave.
