Revision 03cdadb04077b9311bbc67d98cc5401aff76482d authored by Dan Williams on 26 February 2016, 23:19:43 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 27 February 2016, 18:28:52 UTC
The recent *sync enabling discovered that we are inserting into the
block_device pagecache counter to the expectations of the dirty data
tracking for dax mappings.  This can lead to data corruption.

We want to support DAX for block devices eventually, but it requires
wider changes to properly manage the pagecache.

   mount_bdev+0x180/0x1b0
   ext4_mount+0x15/0x20

Mark the support broken so its disabled by default, but otherwise still
available for testing.
