Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 4/4] dax: Fix incorrect list of data cache aliasing architectures
Date: Wed, 31 Jan 2024 11:25:33 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240131162533.247710-5-mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240131162533.247710-1-mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com>
commit d92576f1167c ("dax: does not work correctly with virtual aliasing caches")
prevents DAX from building on architectures with virtually aliased
dcache with:
depends on !(ARM || MIPS || SPARC)
This check is too broad (e.g. recent ARMv7 don't have virtually aliased
dcaches), and also misses many other architectures with virtually
aliased data cache.
This is a regression introduced in the v5.13 Linux kernel where the
dax mount option is removed for 32-bit ARMv7 boards which have no data
cache aliasing, and therefore should work fine with FS_DAX.
This was turned into the following check in alloc_dax() by a preparatory
change:
if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARM) ||
IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_MIPS) ||
IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SPARC))
return NULL;
Use cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() instead to figure out whether the environment
has aliasing data caches.
Fixes: d92576f1167c ("dax: does not work correctly with virtual aliasing caches")
