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 dm alloc_dev()
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")

Similar feedback as the pmem change, lets not propagate the mistake that
alloc_dax() could return NULL, none of the callers of alloc_dax()
properly handled NULL and it was just luck that none of the use cases
tried to use alloc_dax() in the CONFIG_DAX=n case.

Done.
