    v4l2: disable filesystem-dax mapping support · b70131de
    Dan Williams authored
    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.
