virtiofs does not have a block device but it has dax device. Modify bdev_dax_pgoff() to be able to handle that. If there is no bdev, that means dax offset is 0. (It can't be a partition block device starting at an offset in dax device). This is little hackish. There have been discussions about getting rid of dax not supporting partitions. https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/20200107125159.GA15745@infradead.org/ IMHO, this path can easily break exisitng users. For example ioctl(BLKPG_ADD_PARTITION) will start breaking on block devices supporting DAX. Also, I personally find it very useful to be able to partition dax devices and still be able to use DAX. Alternatively, I tried to store offset into dax device information in iomap interface, but that got NACKed. https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/20200217133117.GB20444@infradead.org/ I can't think of a good path to solve this issue properly. So to make progress, it seems this patch is least bad option for now and I hope we can take it.
