I wonder if this should get hoisted to a "xfs_dax_iomap_fault" > wrapper like you did for xfs_iomap_zero_range? This has just a single users, so the classic argument won't apply. That being said __xfs_filemap_fault is a complete mess to due the calling conventions of the various VFS methods multiplexed into it. So yes, splitting out a xfs_dax_iomap_fault to wrap the above plus the dax_finish_sync_fault call might not actually be a bad idea nevertheless. > > + struct xfs_inode *ip = XFS_I(inode); > > + /* > > + * Usually we use @written to indicate whether the operation was > > + * successful.

I'd argue against just changing the calling conventions for ->iomap_end now. The original iter patches from willy allowed passing a single next callback combinging iomap_begin and iomap_end in a way that with a little magic we can avoid the indirect calls entirely. I think we'll need to experiment with that that a bit and see if is worth the effort first. I plan to do that but I might not get to it immediate. If some else wants to take over I'm fine with that. > > static int > > xfs_buffered_write_iomap_begin( > > Also, we have an related request to drop the EXPERIMENTAL tag for > non-DAX reflink.

More importantly before we can merge this series we also need the VM level support for reflink-aware reverse mapping. So while this series here is no in a good enough shape I don't see how we could merge it without that other series as we'd have to disallow mmap for reflink+dax files otherwise.
