I don't mind this, but it seems a policy decision that the kernel does not need to make. A sufficiently sophisticated user could cope with DAX being available at varying LBAs. Would it be sufficient to move this policy decision to userspace tooling? > The direct_access interface is added to dm and dm-linear to map > a request to a target device. I had dm-linear and md-raid0 support on my list of things to look at, did you have raid0 in your plans? -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
