Dan Williams 6a21586a63 dax: stop requiring a live device for dax_flush() Now that dax_flush() is no longer a driver callback (commit `c3ca015fab` "dax: remove the pmem_dax_ops->flush abstraction"), stop requiring the dax_read_lock() to be held and the device to be alive. This is in preparation for switching filesystem-dax to store pfns instead of sectors in the radix.

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.
