From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: dax: quiet bdev_dax_supported()

Patch series "dax: require 'struct page' and other fixups", v2.

Prompted by a recent change to add more protection around setting up
'vm_flags' for a dax vma [1], rework the implementation to remove the
requirement to set VM_MIXEDMAP and VM_HUGEPAGE.

VM_MIXEDMAP is used by dax to direct mm paths like vm_normal_page() that
the memory page it is dealing with is not typical memory from the linear
map.  The get_user_pages_fast() path, since it does not resolve the vma,
is already using {pte,pmd}_devmap() as a stand-in for VM_MIXEDMAP, so we
use that as a VM_MIXEDMAP replacement in some locations.  In the cases
where there is no pte to consult we fallback to using vma_is_dax() to
detect the VM_MIXEDMAP special case.

This patch series passes a run of the ndctl unit test suite and the
'mmap.sh' [2] test in particular.  'mmap.sh' tries to catch dependencies
on VM_MIXEDMAP and {pte,pmd}_devmap().

This patch (of 4):

Leave it to the caller to decide if bdev_dax_supported() failures are
errors worth emitting to the log.
