From 57f7f317abdd07954cb116280c88d18378afb33e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Williams Date: Wed, 6 Jan 2016 12:03:42 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] pmem, dax: disable dax in the presence of bad blocks Longer term teach dax to punch "error" holes in mapping requests and deliver SIGBUS to applications that consume a bad pmem page. For now, simply disable the dax performance optimization in the presence of known errors.
