[PATCH V12 07/12] famfs: MAP_CREATE ioctl and fmap ingest (ABI 44)

John Groves <[email protected]> Mon, 3 Aug 2026 02:29:26 +0000
Newsgroups org.kernel.vger.linux-doc,dev.linux.lists.fuse-devel,dev.linux.lists.nvdimm,org.kernel.vger.linux-cxl,org.kernel.vger.linux-fsdevel,org.kernel.vger.linux-kernel
Message-ID <0100019fc5746312-6cfe9a07-a658-4aba-b1e9-5233b0ddfcf4-000000@email.amazonses.com>
From: John Groves <[email protected]>

Add the famfs file ioctl handler (FAMFSIOC_NOP, FAMFSIOC_MAP_CREATE) and
the KABI-44 self-describing fmap message: the wire ABI in famfs_ioctl.h
(famfs_ioc_fmap_header plus the simple and interleaved extent structs), the
in-core famfs_file_meta, and famfs_file_init_dax(), which copies the
message in, parses both the simple-extent and interleaved (striped) wire
forms into inode->i_private, and sets S_DAX.

Resolving those mappings to dax-device offsets (iomap_begin) is added in
the following commit; the read/write/fault paths keep their NULL iomap_ops
stub until then.

Also add famfs ioctls to ioctl-number.rst
