<title>dax: unify ext2/4_{dax,}_file_operations</title>

<id>be64f884bed729b5d127db6a737155a4e514d286</id>
<content type='text'>
The original dax patchset split the ext2/4_file_operations because of the
two NULL splice_read/splice_write in the dax case.

In the vfs if splice_read/splice_write are NULL we then call
default_splice_read/write.

What we do here is make generic_file_splice_read aware of IS_DAX() so the
original ext2/4_file_operations can be used as is.

For write it appears that iter_file_splice_write is just fine.  It uses
the regular f_op-&gt;write(file,..) or new_sync_write(file, ...).

<title>dax: use pfn_mkwrite to update c/mtime + freeze protection</title>

<id>0e3b210ce1722168227cb3bc7746256d0c0afece</id>
<content type='text'>
From: Yigal Korman &lt;yigal@plexistor.com&gt;

[v1]
Without this patch, c/mtime is not updated correctly when mmap'ed page is
first read from and then written to.

A new xfstest is submitted for testing this (generic/080)

[v2]
Jan Kara has pointed out that if we add the
sb_start/end_pagefault pair in the new pfn_mkwrite we
are then fixing another bug where: A user could start
writing to the page while filesystem is frozen.

<title>direct_IO: use iov_iter_rw() instead of rw everywhere</title>

<id>6f67376318abea58589ebe6d69dffeabb6f6c26a</id>
<content type='text'>
The rw parameter to direct_IO is redundant with iov_iter-&gt;type, and
treated slightly differently just about everywhere it's used: some users
do rw &amp; WRITE, and others do rw == WRITE where they should be doing a
bitwise check. Simplify this with the new iov_iter_rw() helper, which
always returns either READ or WRITE.
