From: Dan Williams dan.j.williams@intel.com Date: Wed, 29 Nov 2017 16:10:47 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] IB/core: disable memory registration of filesystem-dax vmas
Until there is a solution to the dma-to-dax vs truncate problem it is not safe to allow RDMA to create long standing memory registrations against filesytem-dax vmas.
