Subject: fs/dax: remove FS_DAX_LIMITED config option
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=28dc88c39ecfe7de5033fa05cdd24fd1a9f8267d;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

fs/dax: remove FS_DAX_LIMITED config option

The dcssblk driver was the last user of FS_DAX_LIMITED.  That was marked
broken by 653d7825c149 ("dcssblk: mark DAX broken, remove FS_DAX_LIMITED
support") to allow removal of PFN_SPECIAL.  However the FS_DAX_LIMITED
config option itself was not removed, so do that now.
