I ran into the same issue if CONFIG_DAX=m (it's still selected by some other
modular symbol). #if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_DAX) is true in the modular case, so
the dummies provided by include/linux/dax.h are not used.
However, while changing it to #ifdef CONFIG_DAX allows to build vmlinux, it
leads to other issues as DAX is compiled as a module:
drivers/dax/super.c:35: error: redefinition of ‘dax_read_lock’
include/linux/dax.h:30: error: previous definition of
‘dax_read_lock’ was here
Yes, calling into optional modular code from builtin code in fs/blockdev.c is
tricky ;-( Perhaps you can make bdev_dax_supported() a small wrapper
that calls into the real code through a function pointer, when the DAX module
is available?
