dax: remove CONFIG_DAX_DRIVER

2021-12-04T16:58:51Z

CONFIG_DAX_DRIVER only selects CONFIG_DAX now, so remove it. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Reviewed-by: Dan Williams Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20211129102203.2243509-4-hch@lst.de Signed-off-by: Dan Williams

s390: remove xpram device driver

2021-09-07T11:38:42Z

Support for expanded storage was only available until z13 and z/VM 6.3 respectively. However there haven't been any use cases a long time before for this device driver. Therefore remove it. Acked-by: Christian Borntraeger Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens

s390/dasd: remove IOSCHED_DEADLINE from DASD Kconfig

2020-04-17T14:05:27Z

CONFIG_IOSCHED_DEADLINE was removed with commit f382fb0bcef4 ("block: remove legacy IO schedulers") and setting of the scheduler was removed with commit a5fd8ddce2af ("s390/dasd: remove setting of scheduler from driver"). So get rid of the select. Reported-by: Krzysztof Kozlowski Signed-off-by: Stefan Haberland Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

s390/Kconfig: pedantic cleanups

2019-06-04T13:03:46Z

Formatting of Kconfig files doesn't look so pretty, so just take damp cloth and clean it up. Signed-off-by: Enrico Weigelt, metux IT consult Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens

dax: introduce CONFIG_DAX_DRIVER

2018-04-03T12:41:19Z

In support of allowing device-mapper to compile out idle/dead code when there are no dax providers in the system, introduce the DAX_DRIVER symbol. This is selected by all leaf drivers that device-mapper might be layered on top. This allows device-mapper to conditionally 'select DAX' only when a provider is present.

dax: require 'struct page' by default for filesystem dax

2018-01-20T00:50:53Z

If a dax buffer from a device that does not map pages is passed to read(2) or write(2) as a target for direct-I/O it triggers SIGBUS. If gdb attempts to examine the contents of a dax buffer from a device that does not map pages it triggers SIGBUS. If fork(2) is called on a process with a dax mapping from a device that does not map pages it triggers SIGBUS. 'struct page' is required otherwise several kernel code paths break in surprising ways. Disable filesystem-dax on devices that do not map pages. In addition to needing pfn_to_page() to be valid we also require devmap pages. We need this to detect dax pages in the get_user_pages_fast() path and so that we can stop managing the VM_MIXEDMAP flag. For DAX drivers that have not supported get_user_pages() to date we allow them to opt-in to supporting DAX with the CONFIG_FS_DAX_LIMITED configuration option which requires ->direct_access() to return pfn_t_special() pfns. This leaves DAX support in brd disabled and scheduled for removal. Note that when the initial dax support was being merged a few years back there was concern that struct page was unsuitable for use with next generation persistent memory devices. The theoretical concern was that struct page access, being such a hotly used data structure in the kernel, would lead to media wear out. While that was a reasonable conservative starting position it has not held true in practice. We have long since committed to using devm_memremap_pages() to support higher order kernel functionality that needs get_user_pages() and pfn_to_page().

s390: add a few more SPDX identifiers

2017-12-05T06:51:09Z

Add the correct SPDX license to a few more files under arch/s390 and drivers/s390 which have been missed to far. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

s390/scm: remove cluster option

Remove CONFIG_SCM_BLOCK_CLUSTER_WRITE and related code. This quirk is no longer needed on current hardware. Signed-off-by: Sebastian Ott Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

dcssblk: add dax_operations support

2017-04-19T22:14:36Z

Setup a dax_dev to have the same lifetime as the dcssblk block device and add a ->direct_access() method that is equivalent to dcssblk_direct_access(). Once fs/dax.c has been converted to use dax_operations the old dcssblk_direct_access() will be removed. Reported-by: Gerald Schaefer Acked-by: Gerald Schaefer Signed-off-by: Dan Williams
