Patch series "mm, xfs, dax: Fixes for memory_failure() handling". I failed to run the memory error injection section of the ndctl test suite on linux-next prior to the merge window and as a result some bugs were missed. While the new enabling targeted reflink enabled XFS filesystems the bugs cropped up in the surrounding cases of DAX error injection on ext4-fsdax and device-dax. One new assumption / clarification in this set is the notion that if a filesystem's ->notify_failure() handler returns -EOPNOTSUPP, then it must be the case that the fsdax usage of page->index and page->mapping are valid. I am fairly certain this is true for xfs_dax_notify_failure(), but would appreciate another set of eyes. This patch (of 4): XFS always registers dax_holder_operations regardless of whether the filesystem is capable of handling the notifications. The expectation is that if the notify_failure handler cannot run then there are no scenarios where it needs to run. In other words the expected semantic is that page->index and page->mapping are valid for memory_failure() when the conditions that cause -EOPNOTSUPP in xfs_dax_notify_failure() are present. A fallback to the generic memory_failure() path is expected so do not warn when that happens.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
