[PATCH v5 01/17] ext4: allow DAX writeback for hole punch

From: Ross Zwisler <hidden>
Date: 2016-10-07 21:08:48
Also in: linux-ext4, linux-fsdevel, linux-xfs, lkml, nvdimm, stable
Subsystem: ext4 file system, filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), the rest · Maintainers: "Theodore Ts'o", Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Linus Torvalds

Currently when doing a DAX hole punch with ext4 we fail to do a writeback.
This is because the logic around filemap_write_and_wait_range() in
ext4_punch_hole() only looks for dirty page cache pages in the radix tree,
not for dirty DAX exceptional entries.
