Hi Mike,
Thanks for the update. I have a question about the above change. Targets may
have their own parameters. For instance, dm-stripe has 'chunk_size', which is
checked in stripe_ctr(). DAX adds additional restriction that chunk_size
needs to be aligned by page size. So, I think we need to keep target
responsible to verify if DAX can be supported. What do you think?
Thanks,
-Toshi
