[PATCH v6 0/2] dax, dm: stop requiring dax for device-mapper

[PATCH v6 0/2] dax, dm: stop requiring dax for device-mapper

[Dan Williams]

Changes since v5 [1]:
* Make DAX_DRIVER select DAX to simplify the Kconfig dependencies
  (Michael)
* Rebase on 4.15-rc1 and add new IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_DAX_DRIVER) checks in
  drivers/md/dm-log-writes.c.

[1]: https://lists.01.org/pipermail/linux-nvdimm/2017-September/012569.html

Hi Mike,

Bart points out that the DAX core is unconditionally enabled if
device-mapper is enabled. Add some config machinery and some
stub/static-inline routines to allow dax infrastructure to be deleted
from device-mapper at compile time.

[PATCH v6 1/2] dax: introduce CONFIG_DAX_DRIVER

[Dan Williams]

In support of allowing device-mapper to compile out idle/dead code when
there are no dax providers in the system, introduce the DAX_DRIVER
symbol. This is selected by all leaf drivers that device-mapper might be
layered on top. This allows device-mapper to conditionally 'select DAX'
only when a provider is present.

[PATCH v6 2/2] dm: allow device-mapper to operate without dax support

[Dan Williams]

Change device-mapper's DAX dependency to require the presence of at
least one DAX_DRIVER. This allows device-mapper to be built without
bringing the DAX core along which is especially wasteful when there are
no DAX drivers, like BLK_DEV_PMEM, configured.

[PATCH v6 2/2] dm: allow device-mapper to operate without dax support

[Dan Williams]

Change device-mapper's DAX dependency to require the presence of at
least one DAX_DRIVER. This allows device-mapper to be built without
bringing the DAX core along which is especially wasteful when there are
no DAX drivers, like BLK_DEV_PMEM, configured.

Hey Dan,

Did you want me to pick this up for 4.16 or were you thinking of sending
the changes through a different tree?

I'm fine with picking these up so long as you don't expect the dax.h and
Kconfig changes to become a source of conflict come merge time.

Let me know, thanks!
Mike

There might be some more collisions as we are going to kill the DAX
support in axonram and dcssblk. If I get your reviewed-by on these
I'll take them through the nvdimm tree.
