Subject[PATCH v4 0/6] Add alignment check for DAX mount
Date
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. Add alignment check to ext4, ext2, and xfs.

- Patch 1-2 add bdev_dax_supported() which performs all the checks
necessary for dax mount.
- Patch 3-5 change fillesystems to call bdev_dax_supported().
- Patch 6 is a cleanup to keep dax capability checks consistent.

v4:
- blkdev_dax_capable() is similar to bdev_dax_supported().
Manage them consistently. (Dan Williams, Dave Chinner)

v3:
- Remove boilerplate code from filesytems (Christoph Hellwig)
- Add a helper function to perform all checks (Dave Chinner)

v2:
- Use a helper function via ->direct_access for the check.
(Christoph Hellwig)
- Call bdev_direct_access() with sector 0 for the check.
(Boaz Harrosh)
