This feature relies on both mmap virtual address and FS block data (i.e. physical address) to be aligned by the PMD page size. Users can use mkfs options to specify FS to align block allocations. However, aligning mmap() address requires application changes to mmap() calls, such as: - /* let the kernel to assign a mmap addr */ - mptr = mmap(NULL, fsize, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, FLAGS, fd, 0); + /* 1. obtain a PMD-aligned virtual address */ + ret = posix_memalign(&mptr, PMD_SIZE, fsize); + if (!ret) + free(mptr); /* 2. release the virt addr */ + + /* 3. then pass the PMD-aligned virt addr to mmap() */ + mptr = mmap(mptr, fsize, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, FLAGS, fd, 0); These changes add unnecessary dependency to DAX and PMD page size into application code. The kernel should assign a mmap address appropriate for the operation. Change arch_get_unmapped_area() and arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown() to request PMD_SIZE alignment when the request is for a DAX file and its mapping range is large enough for using a PMD page.
