From: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@xxxxxxxxx> Verity and DAX are incompatible. Changing the DAX mode due to a verity flag change is wrong without a corresponding address_space_operations update. Make the 2 options mutually exclusive by returning an error if DAX was set first. (Setting DAX is already disabled if Verity is set first.)
