Subject: dax: stop requiring a live device for dax_flush()
X-Git-Url: http://git.maquefel.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6a21586a637e624ae736f94aeb0839f6a1dd0411;p=linux.git

dax: stop requiring a live device for dax_flush()

Now that dax_flush() is no longer a driver callback (commit c3ca015fab6d
"dax: remove the pmem_dax_ops->flush abstraction"), stop requiring the
dax_read_lock() to be held and the device to be alive.  This is in
preparation for switching filesystem-dax to store pfns instead of
sectors in the radix.
