Add a flag so that the file system can easily detect DAX operations.Looks ok, but I would have preferred a quick note about the rationale here before needing to read other patches to figure that out.
The reason is to only apply the DAX partition offsets to actual DAX operations, and not to e.g. fiemap. I'll document that more clearly. _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
