This series fixes a few issues that I found with DM's handling of DAX
devices.  Here are some of the issues I found:

 * We can create a dm-stripe or dm-linear device which is made up of an
   fsdax PMEM namespace and a raw PMEM namespace but which can hold a
   filesystem mounted with the -o dax mount option.  DAX operations to
   the raw PMEM namespace part lack struct page and can fail in
   interesting/unexpected ways when doing things like fork(), examining
   memory with gdb, etc.

 * We can create a dm-stripe or dm-linear device which is made up of an
   fsdax PMEM namespace and a BRD ramdisk which can hold a filesystem
   mounted with the -o dax mount option.  All I/O to this filesystem
   will fail.

 * In DM you can't transition a dm target which could possibly support
   DAX (mode DM_TYPE_DAX_BIO_BASED) to one which can't support DAX
   (mode DM_TYPE_BIO_BASED), even if you never use DAX.

The first 2 patches in this series are prep work from Darrick and Dave
which improve bdev_dax_supported().  The last 5 problems fix the above
mentioned problems in DM.  I feel that this series simplifies the
handling of DAX devices in DM, and the last 5 DM-related patches have a
net code reduction of 50 lines.


Darrick J. Wong (1):
  fs: allow per-device dax status checking for filesystems

Dave Jiang (1):
  dax: change bdev_dax_supported() to support boolean returns

Ross Zwisler (5):
  dm: fix test for DAX device support
  dm: prevent DAX mounts if not supported
  dm: remove DM_TYPE_DAX_BIO_BASED dm_queue_mode
  dm-snap: remove unnecessary direct_access() stub
  dm-error: remove unnecessary direct_access() stub
