That describes what the code is doing, not why.

It's not an invalidation function anymore, so needs a name change.

	if (mp->m_flags & (XFS_MOUNT_DAX_ALWAYS | XFS_MOUNT_DAX_NEVER))

This doesn't set the XFS inode's "don't cache" flag, despite it
having one that serves exactly the same purpose. IOWs, if the
XFS_IDONTCACHE flag is now redundant, please replace it's current
usage with this new flag and get rid of the XFS inode flag. i.e.
the only place we set XFS_IDONTCACHE can be replaced with a call to
this mark_inode_dontcache() call...

Cheers,

Dave.
