[ Upstream commit a7e8de822e0b1979f08767c751f6c8a9c1d4ad86 ]

A bug can be triggered by following command

$ modprobe nd_pmem &amp;&amp; modprobe -r nd_pmem

[   10.060014] BUG dax_cache (Not tainted): Objects remaining in dax_cache on __kmem_cache_shutdown()

This is caused by dax_fs_exit() not flushing inodes before destroy cache.
To fix this issue, call rcu_barrier() before destroy cache.

commit 1aa574312518ef1d60d2dc62d58f7021db3b163a upstream.

When I repeatedly modprobe and rmmod dax.ko, kmemleak report a
memory leak as follows:

When rmmod dax is executed, dax_bus_exit() is missing. This patch
can fix this bug.

<title>dm: Call proper helper to determine dax support</title>

<content type='text'>
commit e2ec5128254518cae320d5dc631b71b94160f663 upstream.

DM was calling generic_fsdax_supported() to determine whether a device
referenced in the DM table supports DAX. However this is a helper for "leaf" device drivers so that
they don't have to duplicate common generic checks. High level code
should call dax_supported() helper which that calls into appropriate
helper for the particular device. This problem manifested itself as
kernel messages:

dm-3: error: dax access failed (-95)

when lvm2-testsuite run in cases where a DM device was stacked on top of
another DM device.

Convert the dax filesystem to the new internal mount API as the old
one will be obsoleted and removed.  This allows greater flexibility in
communication of mount parameters between userspace, the VFS and the
filesystem.

See Documentation/filesystems/mount_api.txt for more information.

Once upon a time we used to set -&gt;d_name of e.g. pipefs root
so that d_path() on pipes would work.  These days it's
completely pointless - dentries of pipes are not even connected
to pipefs root.  However, mount_pseudo() had set the root
dentry name (passed as the second argument) and callers
kept inventing names to pass to it.  Including those that
didn't *have* any non-root dentries to start with...

All of that had been pointless for about 8 years now; it's
time to get rid of that cargo-culting...

The device-dax fs is only there to allocate a common inode for each
device-node that refers to the same device by major:minor. It is
otherwise not user mountable and need not be displayed in

<id>urn:sha1:7bf7eac8d648057519adb6fce1e31458c902212c</id>
<content type='text'>
Pankaj reports that starting with commit ad428cdb525a "dax: Check the
end of the block-device capacity with dax_direct_access()" device-mapper
no longer allows dax operation. This results from the stricter checks in
__bdev_dax_supported() that validate that the start and end of a
block-device map to the same 'pagemap' instance.

Teach the dax-core and device-mapper to validate the 'pagemap' on a
per-target basis. This is accomplished by refactoring the
bdev_dax_supported() internals into generic_fsdax_supported() which
takes a sector range to validate. Consequently generic_fsdax_supported()
is suitable to be used in a device-mapper -&gt;iterate_devices() callback.
A new -&gt;dax_supported() operation is added to allow composite devices to
split and route upper-level bdev_dax_supported() requests.

Fixes: ad428cdb525a ("dax: Check the end of the block-device...")
