From d1a5f2b4d8a125943dcb6b032fc7eaefc2c78296 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Williams Date: Thu, 28 Jan 2016 20:25:31 -0800 Subject: block: use DAX for partition table reads Avoid populating pagecache when the block device is in DAX mode. Otherwise these page cache entries collide with the fsync/msync implementation and break data durability guarantees.
