[RFC PATCH 4/7] ext2: Use dax_is_supported()
Posted by Mathieu Desnoyers 1 year, 10 months ago 
Use dax_is_supported() to validate whether the architecture has
virtually aliased caches at mount time.

This is relevant for architectures which require a dynamic check
to validate whether they have virtually aliased data caches
(ARCH_HAS_CACHE_ALIASING_DYNAMIC=y).

Fixes: d92576f1167c ("dax: does not work correctly with virtual aliasing caches")

Looks good to me (although I share Dave's opinion it would be nice to CC
the whole series to fsdevel - luckily we have lore these days so it is not
that tedious to find the whole series :)). Feel free to add:

Hi Jan,

Thanks for looking at it! I will do significant changes for v2, so
I will hold on before integrating your acked-by if it's OK with you.

Thanks!
