[PATCH v4 3/6] ext4: Add alignment check for DAX mount

From: Toshi Kani <hidden>
Date: 2016-05-10 16:23:54
Also in: linux-fsdevel, lkml, nvdimm
Subsystem: ext4 file system, filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), the rest · Maintainers: "Theodore Ts'o", Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Linus Torvalds

When a partition is not aligned by 4KB, mount -o dax succeeds,
but any read/write access to the filesystem fails, except for
metadata update.

Call bdev_dax_supported() to perform proper precondition checks
which includes this partition alignment check.
