[PATCH 0/5] device-dax and huge-page dax fixes for 4.8-rc6

Show all headers | View raw

Kai and Toshi reported poor performance with huge-page dax mappings and
while debugging a few more bugs were discovered in the device-dax driver
and mm.  The following fixes target 4.8-rc6 and are tagged for -stable:

- device-dax incorrectly translates the file offset to a physical
  resource address

- show_smap() crashes on huge-page dax mappings

- huge-page dax mappings are inadvertently being marked as
  _PAGE_CACHE_MODE_UC instead of _PAGE_CACHE_MODE_WB

I would like to take this set through nvdimm.git with acks from mm folks
as there is 4.9 device-dax development that depends on these changes.
