[dm-devel] [PATCH 0/6] Support DAX for device-mapper dm-linear devices

[Toshi Kani]

This patch-set adds DAX support to device-mapper dm-linear devices
used by LVM.  It works with LVM commands as follows:
 - Creation of a logical volume with all DAX capable devices (such
   as pmem) sets the logical volume DAX capable as well.
 - Once a logical volume is set to DAX capable, the volume may not
   be extended with non-DAX capable devices.

The direct_access interface is added to dm and dm-linear to map
a request to a target device.

 - Patch 1-2 introduce GENHD_FL_DAX flag to indicate DAX capability.
 - Patch 3-4 add direct_access functions to dm and dm-linear.
 - Patch 5-6 set GENHD_FL_DAX to dm when all targets are DAX capable.
