Subject: [PATCH v7 05/14] ext4, dax: introduce ext4_dax_aops

In preparation for the dax implementation to start associating dax pages
to inodes via page->mapping, we need to provide a 'struct
address_space_operations' instance for dax. Otherwise, direct-I/O
triggers incorrect page cache assumptions and warnings.

Looks good, just one nit below.

So ext4_direct_IO() for IS_DAX() files will just bail out. So could you
just provide ext4_dax_direct_IO() which will bail out and use it here? With
a similar comment as in xfs_vm_direct_IO() that open still needs this
method set... Thanks!

In fact a common noop_direct_IO might make sense.

Ok, I introduced noop_direct_IO() in "fs, dax: prepare for
dax-specific address_space_operations", and cleaned up xfs, ext4, and
ext2 accordingly. Let me know if you want to see a resend of the
series with those changes. Otherwise this will appear in -next
shortly.
