Commit Message

Mathieu Desnoyers Feb. 8, 2024, 6:49 p.m. UTC 
  In preparation for checking whether the architecture has data cache
aliasing within alloc_dax(), modify the error handling of nvdimm/pmem
pmem_attach_disk() to treat alloc_dax() -EOPNOTSUPP failure as non-fatal.

For the transition, consider that alloc_dax() returning NULL is the
same as returning -EOPNOTSUPP.

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

alloc_dax() should never return NULL. I.e. the lead in before this patch
should fix this misunderstanding:

Then this ternary can be replaced with just a check of which PTR_ERR()
value is being returned.

As you noted, I've introduced this as cleanups in later patches. I don't
mind folding these into their respective per-driver commits and moving
the alloc_dax() hunk earlier in the series.

Thanks,
