vfio: disable filesystem-dax page pinning
Filesystem-DAX is incompatible with 'longterm' page pinning. Without page cache indirection a DAX mapping maps filesystem blocks directly. This means that the filesystem must not modify a file's block map while any page in a mapping is pinned. In order to prevent the situation of userspace holding of filesystem operations indefinitely, disallow 'longterm' Filesystem-DAX mappings. RDMA has the same conflict and the plan there is to add a 'with lease' mechanism to allow the kernel to notify userspace that the mapping is being torn down for block-map maintenance. Perhaps something similar can be put in place for vfio. Note that xfs and ext4 still report: "DAX enabled. Warning: EXPERIMENTAL, use at your own risk" ...at mount time, and resolving the dax-dma-vs-truncate problem is one of the last hurdles to remove that designation.
