Subject: [PATCH v3 04/12] fs/xfs: Clean up DAX support check

From: Ira Weiny <[email protected]>

Rather than open coding xfs_inode_supports_dax() in
xfs_ioctl_setattr_dax_invalidate() export xfs_inode_supports_dax() and
call it in preparation for swapping dax flags.

This also means updating xfs_inode_supports_dax() to return true for a
directory.

I'm not following. Don't we want S_DAX to get set on directory inodes?

IIRC what we wanted was something like this where IS_DAX is the current state
and "dax" is the inode flag:

/ <IS_DAX=0 dax=0>
dir1 <IS_DAX=0 dax=0>
f0 <IS_DAX=0 dax=0>
f1 <IS_DAX=1 dax=1>
dir2 <IS_DAX=1 dax=1>
f2 <IS_DAX=1 dax=1>
f3 <IS_DAX=0 dax=0>
dir3 <IS_DAX=1 dax=1>
f4 <IS_DAX=1 dax=1>
dir4 <IS_DAX=0 dax=0>
f5 <IS_DAX=0 dax=0>
f6 <IS_DAX=1 dax=1>

Where f1, dir2, f3, and dir4 required explicit state changes when they were
created. Because they inherited their dax state from the parent. All the
other creations happened based on the DAX state of the parent directory. So we
need to store and know the state of the directories. What am I missing?
