It is just that in CONFIG_FS_DAX=n + CONFIG_DEV_DAX=y case, the compiler is not able to figure out some calls behind IS_DAX() are dead code and so the kernel won't compile / link. Or is there any other problem I'm missing? If I'm indeed right, then please tell this in the changelog and don't talk about abstract ambiguity of S_DAX flag. As much as I'd prefer to solve link-time problems with stubs instead of relying on dead-code elimination, I can live with split macros so once the changelog is settled, feel free to add: Reviewed-by: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx> Honza > is only non-zero in the CONFIG_FS_DAX=y case.
