Hi Ross, Toshi, Jeff and others

After reading the kernel patches[1][2][3] about dm, I think only three
types(linear, stripe and log-writes) of dm can support DAX now, right?

Right.

I wonder why only three types of dm need to support DAX? Is there any
reason/history and use case?

It was easy to add DAX support to those targets.  Note that if a target
needs to intercept I/O, then it is fundamentally incompatible with DAX.

How can I know which target needs to intercept I/O? Could you tell me why it is fundamentally incompatible with DAX?

Best Regards,
Xiao Yang

Cheers,
Jeff
