Subject: [PATCH v2] dm writecache: reject asynchronous pmem.
Date:   Tue, 30 Jun 2020 16:53:35 +0200
Message-Id: <20200630145335.1185-1-msuchanek@suse.de>

The writecache driver does not handle asynchronous pmem. Reject it when
supplied as cache.

Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-nvdimm/87lfk5hahc.fsf@linux.ibm.com/
Fixes: 6e84200c0a29 ("virtio-pmem: Add virtio pmem driver")
