[4.9-stable PATCH 06/11] v4l2: disable filesystem-dax mapping support

From: Dan Williams
Date: Fri Feb 23 2018 - 17:15:09 EST


commit b70131de648c2b997d22f4653934438013f407a1 upstream.

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.
