[PATCH v3 09/13] IB/core: disable memory registration of fileystem-dax vmas

From: Dan Williams
Date: Thu Oct 19 2017 - 22:46:22 EST


Until there is a solution to the dma-to-dax vs truncate problem it is
not safe to allow RDMA to create long standing memory registrations
against filesytem-dax vmas. Device-dax vmas do not have this problem and
are explicitly allowed.

This is temporary until a "memory registration with layout-lease"
mechanism can be implemented, and is limited to non-ODP (On Demand
Paging) capable RDMA devices.
