Subject[PATCH] Documentation/dax: Update description of DAX policy changing
Date
After commit 77573fa310d9 ("fs: Kill DCACHE_DONTCACHE dentry even if
DCACHE_REFERENCED is set"), changes to DAX policy will take effect
as soon as all references to this file are gone.

Update the documentation accordingly.

described in 6) below.

6. When changing the S_DAX policy via toggling the persistent FS_XFLAG_DAX flag,
- the change in behaviour for existing regular files may not occur
- immediately. If the change must take effect immediately, the administrator
- needs to:
-
- a) stop the application so there are no active references to the data set
- the policy change will affect
-
- b) evict the data set from kernel caches so it will be re-instantiated when
- the application is restarted. This can be achieved by:
-
- i. drop-caches
- ii. a filesystem unmount and mount cycle
- iii. a system reboot
+ the change to existing regular file won't take effect until the file is closed
+ by all processes or all processes referencing the file are stopped.
