If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From bbb3be170ac2891526ad07b18af7db226879a8e7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 18 Jul 2017 17:49:14 -0700 Subject: device-dax: fix sysfs duplicate warnings From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@xxxxxxxxx> commit bbb3be170ac2891526ad07b18af7db226879a8e7 upstream. Fix warnings of the form...

Now that we have decided that there will never by more than one device-dax instance per libnvdimm-namespace parent device [1], we can directly reuse the namepace ids. There are some possible follow-on cleanups, but those are saved for a later patch to simplify the -stable backport.
