The implementation of dax_flush() is non-NULL if CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PMEM_API is selected. Then if we select CONFIG_FS_DAX_LIMITED with CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PMEM_API in the future, the dax_flush() in the dax_writeback_one() will cause a panic since it accepts the struct page by default: dax_flush(dax_dev, page_address(pfn_to_page(pfn)), count * PAGE_SIZE); Instead of fixing this, it is better to declare in Kconfig that pmem does not support CONFIG_FS_DAX_LIMITED now. Signed-off-by: Qi Zheng <zhengqi.arch@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- BTW, it seems that CONFIG_FS_DAX_LIMITED currently only has DCSSBLK as a user, but this makes filesystems dax must support the case that the struct page is not required, which makes the code complicated. Is it possible to remove DCSSBLK or change it to also require struct page? lib/Kconfig | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/lib/Kconfig b/lib/Kconfig index a7cd6605cc6c..6989ad3fea99 100644 --- a/lib/Kconfig +++ b/lib/Kconfig @@ -672,6 +672,7 @@ config ARCH_NO_SG_CHAIN config ARCH_HAS_PMEM_API bool + depends on !FS_DAX_LIMITED config MEMREGION bool -- 2.20.1
