From d92576f1167cacf7844e5993f343eed4a6d8a147 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthew Wilcox Date: Mon, 16 Feb 2015 15:59:44 -0800 Subject: dax: does not work correctly with virtual aliasing caches The DAX code accesses the underlying storage through the kernel's linear mapping, which may not be cache-coherent with user mappings on ARM, MIPS or SPARC. Temporarily disable the DAX code until this problem is resolved. The original XIP code also had this problem, but it was never noticed.
