Why do you pass only 1 page as nr_pages argument for dax_direct_access()?
In some other patch in this series there is a comment that this will
currently only be used for one page, but support for more pages might be
added later. Wouldn't it make sense to rather use something like
PAGE_ALIGN(page_offset + len) >> PAGE_SHIFT instead of 1 here, so that
this won't have to be changed when callers will be ready to use it
with more than one page?

Of course, I guess then we'd also need some check on the return value
from dax_direct_access(), i.e. if the returned available range is
large enough for the requested range.

I left it at 1 page because that's the current limitation of this
interface and there are no callers which are zeroing across page
boundaries.

I prefer to keep it this way and modify it when we are extending this
interface to allow zeroing across page boundaries. Because even if I add
that logic, I can't test it.

But if you still prefer to change it, I am open to make that change.

Thanks
Vivek

OK, fine with me.
