From 43c3dd08da890e458f670b4fc0630513fb405620 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthew Wilcox Date: Fri, 3 Jul 2015 10:40:43 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] dax: bdev_direct_access() may sleep The brd driver is the only in-tree driver that may sleep currently. After some discussion on linux-fsdevel, we decided that any driver may choose to sleep in its ->direct_access method. To ensure that all callers of bdev_direct_access() are prepared for this, add a call to might_sleep().
