Thanks for the pointer. This cleaned up the issue for me.

Yeah, then please define some common helper that takes care of refusing
direct IO - IMO you should check this even before calling into
->integrity_read helper.

Yes, for DAX direct IO is basically no different but frankly I would just
refuse O_DIRECT on DAX inodes as well just for the consistency sake.
