Ross Zwisler 74ec37d03a dm: prevent DAX mounts if not supported
commit dbc626597c39b24cefce09fbd8e9dea85869a801 upstream.

Currently device_supports_dax() just checks to see if the QUEUE_FLAG_DAX
flag is set on the device's request queue to decide whether or not the
device supports filesystem DAX.  Really we should be using
bdev_dax_supported() like filesystems do at mount time.  This performs
other tests like checking to make sure the dax_direct_access() path works.

We also explicitly clear QUEUE_FLAG_DAX on the DM device's request queue if
any of the underlying devices do not support DAX.  This makes the handling
of QUEUE_FLAG_DAX consistent with the setting/clearing of most other flags
in dm_table_set_restrictions().

Now that bdev_dax_supported() explicitly checks for QUEUE_FLAG_DAX, this
will ensure that filesystems built upon DM devices will only be able to
mount with DAX if all underlying devices also support DAX.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
