I've mentioned this before, but I'd like to repeat it. With all the work reqwuired in the file system I would prefer to drop DAX support in ext2 (and if people really cry for it reinstate the trivial old xip support).
Why is so much work required to support the new DAX interfaces in ext2? Is that unique to ext2, or is adding DAX support just going to be painful for all file systems? Hopefully it's not the latter, right? - Ted -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
