    dax: call get_blocks() with create == 1 for write faults to unwritten extents · aef39ab1
    Jan Kara 提交于
    Currently, __dax_fault() does not call get_blocks() callback with create
    argument set, when we got back unwritten extent from the initial
    get_blocks() call during a write fault. This is because originally
    filesystems were supposed to convert unwritten extents to written ones
    using complete_unwritten() callback. Later this was abandoned in favor of
    using pre-zeroed blocks however the condition whether get_blocks() needs
    to be called with create == 1 remained.
    
    Fix the condition so that filesystems are not forced to zero-out and
    convert unwritten extents when get_blocks() is called with create == 0
    (which introduces unnecessary overhead for read faults and can be
    problematic as the filesystem may possibly be read-only).
