DAX support in ext2 was deprecated in commit d5a2693f93e4
("ext2: Deprecate DAX") with a removal deadline of end of 2025.
Remove all DAX code from ext2 as scheduled.
This removes the DAX mount option, IOMAP DAX support, DAX file
operations, DAX address_space_operations, and the DAX fault handler.
Signed-off-by: Ashwin Gundarapu <linuxuser509@zohomail.in>
---
v3: Restored Opt_dax for graceful mount error message. Fixed remaining
space-to-tab indentation. Kept EXT2_MOUNT_XIP for compilation.
v2: Removed unused sbi variable and fixed indentation as reported
by kernel test robot.
