The conversion of __dax_zero_page_range() to 'struct dax_operations'
caused it to frequently fail. The mistake was treating the @size
parameter as a dax mapping length rather than just a length of the
clear_pmem() operation. The dax mapping length is assumed to be hard
coded as PAGE_SIZE.
Without this fix any page unaligned zeroing request will trigger a
-EINVAL return from bdev_dax_pgoff().

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
