That's not correct. This now means S_DAX gets set on directory inodes
because both xfs_inode_supports_dax() and the on-disk inode flag
checks return true in xfs_diflags_to_iflags(). Hence when we
instantiate a directory inode with a DAX inherit hint set on it
we'll set S_DAX on the inode and so IS_DAX() will return true for
directory inodes...

Cheers,

Dave.
