These methods indirect the actual DAX read/write path. In the end pmem uses magic flush and mc safe variants and fuse and dcssblk use plain ones while device mapper picks redirects to the underlying device. Add set_dax_nocache() and set_dax_nomc() APIs to control which copy routines are used to remove indirect call from the read/write fast path as well as a lot of boilerplate code.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
