This patchset is a try to resolve the problem of tracking shared page
for fsdax.
Change from v1:
- Intorduce ->block_lost() for block device
- Support mapped device
- Add 'not available' warning for realtime device in XFS
- Rebased to v5.10-rc1
This patchset moves owner tracking from dax_assocaite_entry() to pmem
device, by introducing an interface ->memory_failure() of struct
pagemap. The interface is called by memory_failure() in mm, and
implemented by pmem device. Then pmem device calls its ->block_lost()
to find the filesystem which the damaged page located in, and call
->storage_lost() to track files or metadata assocaited with this page.
Finally we are able to try to fix the damaged data in filesystem and do
Does that mean clearing poison? if so, would you mind to elaborate
specifically which change does that?
Recovering data for filesystem (or pmem device) has not been done in
this patchset... I just triggered the handler for the files sharing the
corrupted page here.
Thanks! That confirms my understanding.
With the framework provided by the patchset, how do you envision it to
ease/simplify poison recovery from the user's perspective?
And how does it help in dealing with page faults upon poisoned
dax page?
thanks!
