[PATCH] common/rc: Fix _check_s_dax()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@xxxxxxxxx>

There is a conflict with the user visible statx bits 'mount root' and
'dax'.  The kernel is changing the dax bit to correct this conflict.[1]

Adjust _check_s_dax() to use the new bit.  Because DAX tests do not run
on root mounts, STATX_ATTR_MOUNT_ROOT should always be 0, therefore we
can allow either bit to indicate DAX and cover any kernel which may be
running.

I went ahead and used Christoph's suggestion regarding using both bits.
