Subject: ext4: Add alignment check for DAX mount
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=87eefeb4e80b1526be83e670a08d059a003b7d0e;p=linux-beck.git

ext4: Add alignment check for DAX mount

When a partition is not aligned by 4KB, mount -o dax succeeds,
but any read/write access to the filesystem fails, except for
metadata update.

Call bdev_dax_supported() to perform proper precondition checks
which includes this partition alignment check.
