From 2d96afc8f70ef86c66a0b5d80c24a27d6dd13df3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Toshi Kani Date: Tue, 10 May 2016 10:23:53 -0600 Subject: block: Add bdev_dax_supported() for dax mount checks DAX imposes additional requirements to a device. Add bdev_dax_supported() which performs all the precondition checks necessary for filesystem to mount the device with dax option. Also add a new check to verify if a partition is aligned by 4KB. When a partition is unaligned, any dax read/write access fails, except for metadata update.
