Merge tag 'vfs-5.8-merge-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/xfs/xfs-linux
Pull DAX updates part two from Darrick Wong:
"This time around, we're hoisting the DONTCACHE flag from XFS into the
VFS so that we can make the incore DAX mode changes become effective
sooner.
We can't change the file data access mode on a live inode because we
don't have a safe way to change the file ops pointers. The incore
state change becomes effective at inode loading time, which can happen
if the inode is evicted. Therefore, we're making it so that
filesystems can ask the VFS to evict the inode as soon as the last
holder drops.
The per-fs changes to make this call this will be in subsequent pull
requests from Ted and myself.
Summary:
- Introduce DONTCACHE flags for dentries and inodes. This hint will
cause the VFS to drop the associated objects immediately after the
last put, so that we can change the file access mode (DAX or page
cache) on the fly"
* tag 'vfs-5.8-merge-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/xfs/xfs-linux:
fs: Introduce DCACHE_DONTCACHE
fs: Lift XFS_IDONTCACHE to the VFS layer
