dm_table_supports_dax() is called multiple times (from
dm_table_set_restrictions and dm_table_determine_type). It is strange
to have a getter have a side-effect of being a setter too. Overloading
like this could get you in trouble in the future.
Are you certain this is what you want?
Or would it be better to refactor dm_table_supports_dax() to take an
iterate_devices_fn arg and have callers pass the appropriate function?
Then have dm_table_set_restrictions() caller do:
if (dm_table_supports_dax(t, device_synchronous, NULL))
set_dax_synchronous(t->md->dax_dev);
(NULL arg implies dm_table_supports_dax() refactoring would take a int
*data pointer rather than int type).
