Patch series "mm, xfs, dax: Fixes for memory_failure() handling".
I failed to run the memory error injection section of the ndctl test suite
on linux-next prior to the merge window and as a result some bugs were
missed. While the new enabling targeted reflink enabled XFS filesystems
the bugs cropped up in the surrounding cases of DAX error injection on
ext4-fsdax and device-dax.
One new assumption / clarification in this set is the notion that if a
filesystem's ->notify_failure() handler returns -EOPNOTSUPP, then it must
be the case that the fsdax usage of page->index and page->mapping are
valid. I am fairly certain this is true for xfs_dax_notify_failure(), but
would appreciate another set of eyes.
This patch (of 4):
XFS always registers dax_holder_operations regardless of whether the
filesystem is capable of handling the notifications. The expectation is
that if the notify_failure handler cannot run then there are no scenarios
where it needs to run. In other words the expected semantic is that
page->index and page->mapping are valid for memory_failure() when the
conditions that cause -EOPNOTSUPP in xfs_dax_notify_failure() are present.
A fallback to the generic memory_failure() path is expected so do not warn
when that happens.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
