------------------------------------------------------ From: Dan Williams dan.j.williams@intel.com Subject: v4l2: disable filesystem-dax mapping support
V4L2 memory registrations are incompatible with filesystem-dax that needs the ability to revoke dma access to a mapping at will, or otherwise allow the kernel to wait for completion of DMA. The filesystem-dax implementation breaks the traditional solution of truncate of active file backed mappings since there is no page-cache page we can orphan to sustain ongoing DMA.
If v4l2 wants to support long lived DMA mappings it needs to arrange to hold a file lease or use some other mechanism so that the kernel can coordinate revoking DMA access when the filesystem needs to truncate mappings.
