As there seems to be no significant outstanding concern about dax on ext2 at this point, remove the scary EXPERIMENTAL warning when in use. Signed-off-by: Eric Sandeen <redacted>Agreed. Do you want my ack or should I just merge this patch?Please do not merge it. The whole DAX path is still a mess and should not be elevated to non-EXPERMINTAL state in this form.
Hi Christoph, 'still a mess' isn't all that useful for figuring out what still needs to be done and splitting up the work. Do you have items beyond my own list below? - still arguing over what exactly FALLOC_FL_ZERO_REINIT_WHATEVER_PONIES should be doing - no reflink support, encompassing: - hwpoison from mmap regions really ought to tell the fs that bad stuff happened - mm rmap can't handle more than one owner --D
