From: Dan Williams dan.j.williams@intel.com Date: Wed, 29 Nov 2017 16:10:39 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] mm: fail get_vaddr_frames() for filesystem-dax mappings
Until there is a solution to the dma-to-dax vs truncate problem it is not safe to allow V4L2, Exynos, and other frame vector users to create long standing / irrevocable memory registrations against filesytem-dax vmas.
