Summary0000860: kernel-ml misses all the DAX options
DescriptionShipping Red Hat kernels include in the latest incarnations all of the
CONFIG*DAX options enabled. This way, applications can use NVDIMM technology using DAX-enabled file systems.
Would be nice if "kernel-ml" follows the Red Hat configuration more closely in this respect.

Thank you for your report and request. We will endeavour to have the relevant "DAX" options enabled for the next kernel-ml build.

The recently released kernel-ml-4.17.3 package sets for EL6 [1] and EL7 [2] have had the following adjustments made to their respective configuration files --

CONFIG_ZONE_DEVICE=y
CONFIG_DEV_DAX=m
CONFIG_FS_DAX=y

As a consequence, the following changes can now be found in the configuration files --

CONFIG_ZONE_DEVICE=y
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_HMM=y
CONFIG_ND_PFN=m
CONFIG_NVDIMM_PFN=y
CONFIG_NVDIMM_DAX=y
CONFIG_DEV_DAX=m
CONFIG_DEV_DAX_PMEM=m
CONFIG_FS_DAX=y
CONFIG_FS_DAX_PMD=y

Now closing as "resolved/fixed".
