Dax is turned on, CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is not.
Looks like nothing is setting CONFIG_RADIX_TREE_MULTIORDER, which is
what xas_set_order() is hidden under.
Ah, CONFIG_ZONE_DEVICE turns it on, not CONFIG_DAX/CONFIG_FS_DAX.
Hmmmm. That seems wrong if it's used in fs/dax.c...
$ grep DAX .config
CONFIG_DAX=y
CONFIG_FS_DAX=y
$ grep ZONE_DEVICE .config
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_ZONE_DEVICE=y
$
So I have DAX enabled, but not ZONE_DEVICE? Shouldn't DAX be
selecting ZONE_DEVICE, not relying on a user to select both of them
so that stuff works properly? Hmmm - there's no menu option to turn
on zone device, so it's selected by something else? Oh, HMM turns
on ZONE device. But that is "default y", so should be turned on. But
it's not? And there's no obvious HMM menu config option, either....
What a godawful mess Kconfig has turned into.
I'm just going to enable TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE - madness awaits me if
I follow the other path down the rat hole....
Ok, it build this time.
