As reported by Arnd (https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/5/28/1697), dm-writecache will fail with link errors in configs where DAX isn't present: drivers/md/dm-writecache.o: In function `writecache_ctr': dm-writecache.c:(.text+0x1fdc): undefined reference to `dax_read_lock' dm-writecache.c:(.text+0x2004): undefined reference to `dax_direct_access' dm-writecache.c:(.text+0x21cc): undefined reference to `dax_read_unlock' Fix this by following the lead of the other DM modules and wrapping calls to the generic DAX code in #if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_DAX_DRIVER) blocks. We also expand the failure case for the 'p' (persistent memory) flag so that fails on both architectures that don't support persistent memory and on kernels that don't have DAX support configured. This prevents us from ever hitting the BUG() in the persistent_memory_claim() stub.
