[PATCH 2/3] dax: introduce dax_clear_poison to dax pwrite operation

When pwrite(2) encounters poison in a dax range, it fails with EIO. But if the backend hardware of the dax device is capable of clearing poison, try that and resume the write. Signed-off-by: Jane Chu --- fs/dax.c | 9 + 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+) diff --git a/fs/dax.c b/fs/dax.c

[PATCH 0/3] dax: clear poison on the fly along pwrite

If pwrite(2) encounters poison in a pmem range, it fails with EIO. This is unecessary if hardware is capable of clearing the poison. Though not all dax backend hardware has the capability of clearing poison on the fly, but dax backed by Intel DCPMEM has such capability, and it's desirable to,

[PATCH 1/3] dax: introduce dax_operation dax_clear_poison

Though not all dax backend hardware has the capability of clearing poison on the fly, but dax backed by Intel DCPMEM has such capability, and it's desirable to, first, speed up repairing by means of it; second, maintain backend continuity instead of fragmenting it in search for clean blocks.
