Currently we never clear dirty tags in DAX mappings and thus address ranges to flush accumulate. Now that we have locking of radix tree entries, we have all the locking necessary to reliably clear the radix tree dirty tag when flushing caches for corresponding address range. Similarly to page_mkclean() we also have to write-protect pages to get a page fault when the page is next written to so that we can mark the entry dirty again.

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.
