Ben LaHaise has been testing Oracle on raw IO with the new patches,
and I only got the thumbs up on that yesterday. Patch below.
This fixes:
Fix two problems when faulting in pages for direct access:
Check pmd and pgd entries for validity in follow page;
Be prepared to call handle_mm_fault more than once if necessary
to complete the page fault.
Allow raw devices to be unbound by binding to dev (0,0)
Use SetPageDirty to mark pages dirty in memory after a read from disk
Wait for pending IO correctly if an error occurs during IO
Return -EIO if an IO error occurs in the first block of the IO
Cheers,
Stephen
