nvdimm: make CONFIG_NVDIMM_DAX 'bool'
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
A bugfix just tried to address a randconfig build problem and introduced
a variant of the same problem: with CONFIG_LIBNVDIMM=y and
CONFIG_NVDIMM_DAX=m, the nvdimm module now fails to link:

drivers/nvdimm/built-in.o: In function `to_nd_device_type':
bus.c:(.text+0x1b5d): undefined reference to `is_nd_dax'
drivers/nvdimm/built-in.o: In function `nd_region_notify_driver_action.constprop.2':
region_devs.c:(.text+0x6b6c): undefined reference to `is_nd_dax'
region_devs.c:(.text+0x6b8c): undefined reference to `to_nd_dax'
drivers/nvdimm/built-in.o: In function `nd_region_probe':
region.c:(.text+0x70f3): undefined reference to `nd_dax_create'
drivers/nvdimm/built-in.o: In function `mode_show':
namespace_devs.c:(.text+0xa196): undefined reference to `is_nd_dax'
drivers/nvdimm/built-in.o: In function `nvdimm_namespace_common_probe':
(.text+0xa55f): undefined reference to `is_nd_dax'
drivers/nvdimm/built-in.o: In function `nvdimm_namespace_common_probe':
(.text+0xa56e): undefined reference to `to_nd_dax'

This reverts the earlier fix, making NVDIMM_DAX a 'bool' option again
as it should be (it gets linked into the libnvdimm module). To fix
the original problem, I'm adding a dependency on LIBNVDIMM to
DEV_DAX_PMEM, which ensures we can't have that one built-in if the
rest is a module.
