From a41fe02b6bba853a29c864d00fd161bbe6cfc715 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Williams Date: Fri, 27 Jan 2017 14:13:15 -0800 Subject: Revert "block: use DAX for partition table reads" commit d1a5f2b4d8a1 ("block: use DAX for partition table reads") was part of a stalled effort to allow dax mappings of block devices. Since then the device-dax mechanism has filled the role of dax-mapping static device ranges. Now that we are moving ->direct_access() from a block_device operation to a dax_inode operation we would need block devices to map and carry their own dax_inode reference. Unless / until we decide to revive dax mapping of raw block devices through the dax_inode scheme, there is no need to carry read_dax_sector(). Its removal in turn allows for the removal of bdev_direct_access() and should have been included in commit 223757016837 ("block_dev: remove DAX leftovers").
