Hi Ted, hadn't seem feedback from you on this by the time it gathered reviews,
is this something you plan to merge for realz? (I see it's on your dev
branch now, just not sure of its permanence at this point.)
Yes, the dev branch is pretty much locked down since I assume the
merge window is openning over the weekend.
The reason why I've been silent is because I haven't had a chance to
do was a test run with DAX, because up until recently I wasn't able to
run a DAX regression test run. (That's because of the CONFIG_KASAN
incompatibility with CONFIG_ZONE_DEVICE that caused the kernel to
instantly blow up on boot if I tried to enable emulated /dev/pmem
devices.)
I just kicked off a DAX test ("gce-xfstests -c dax -g auto") with
CONFIG_KASAN disabled, and I expect it shouldn't show up anything
concerning. So assuming nothing surprising pops up, yes it should be
merged at the next merge window.
