Yes, the dev branch is pretty much locked down since I assume the
merge window is openning over the weekend.
The reason why I've been silent is because I haven't had a chance to
do was a test run with DAX, because up until recently I wasn't able to
run a DAX regression test run. (That's because of the CONFIG_KASAN
incompatibility with CONFIG_ZONE_DEVICE that caused the kernel to
instantly blow up on boot if I tried to enable emulated /dev/pmem
devices.)
I just kicked off a DAX test ("gce-xfstests -c dax -g auto") with
CONFIG_KASAN disabled, and I expect it shouldn't show up anything
concerning. So assuming nothing surprising pops up, yes it should be
merged at the next merge window.
