Jan Kara c6dcf52c23 mm: Invalidate DAX radix tree entries only if appropriate
Currently invalidate_inode_pages2_range() and invalidate_mapping_pages()
just delete all exceptional radix tree entries they find. For DAX this
is not desirable as we track cache dirtiness in these entries and when
they are evicted, we may not flush caches although it is necessary. This
can for example manifest when we write to the same block both via mmap
and via write(2) (to different offsets) and fsync(2) then does not
properly flush CPU caches when modification via write(2) was the last
one.

Create appropriate DAX functions to handle invalidation of DAX entries
for invalidate_inode_pages2_range() and invalidate_mapping_pages() and
wire them up into the corresponding mm functions.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
