In newer kernels, it looks like you can't use /dev/pmem0 for DAX
unless it's marked as being DAX capable. This appears to require
CONFIG_NVDIMM_PFN. But when I tried to build a kernel with that
configured, I get the following BUG:

Does this ring any bells? Any suggestions about how I get ext4 dax
testing working again? Many thanks!!

Hey Ted,
You're using the memmap kernel command line parameter to reserve normal
memory to be treated as normal memory, but you've also got kernel address
randomization turned on in your kernel config:
CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE=y
CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY=y
You need to turn these off for the memmap kernel command line parameter, else
the memory we're using could overlap with addresses used for other things.
Once that is off you probably want to double check that the addresses you're
reserving are marked as 'usable' in the e820 table. Gory details here, sorry
for the huge link:

I believe this issue was fixed a while back. Although we probably can
see if that is the issue or something else.

I turned off RANDOMIZE_BASE and RANDOMIZE_MEMORY, but that didn't fix
my problem.
It turns out the problem was KASAN. It looks like using memmap to
create test /dev/pmemX devices is not compatible with CONFIG_KASAN
being enabled.
So I have a workaround for now, but it seems this to be a bug in
KASAN, or at least an unfortunate interaction between KASAN and
NVDIMM_PFN.

Thanks Ted. I have updated the wiki Ross mentioned to reflect that.
