Jan Kara 3917048d45 mm: allow full handling of COW faults in ->fault handlers
Patch series "dax: Clear dirty bits after flushing caches", v5.

Patchset to clear dirty bits from radix tree of DAX inodes when caches
for corresponding pfns have been flushed.  In principle, these patches
enable handlers to easily update PTEs and do other work necessary to
finish the fault without duplicating the functionality present in the
generic code.  I'd like to thank Kirill and Ross for reviews of the
series!

This patch (of 20):

To allow full handling of COW faults add memcg field to struct vm_fault
and a return value of ->fault() handler meaning that COW fault is fully
handled and memcg charge must not be canceled.  This will allow us to
remove knowledge about special DAX locking from the generic fault code.

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.
