Yeah, I know but since your current implementation raises them for both
I just did it 1:1:

STATIC int
xfs_file_open(
        struct inode    *inode,
        struct file     *file)
{
        if (xfs_is_shutdown(XFS_M(inode->i_sb)))
                return -EIO;
        file->f_mode |= FMODE_NOWAIT | FMODE_BUF_RASYNC | FMODE_BUF_WASYNC |
                        FMODE_DIO_PARALLEL_WRITE | FMODE_CAN_ODIRECT;
        return generic_file_open(inode, file);
}

STATIC int
xfs_dir_open(
        struct inode    *inode,
        struct file     *file)
{
        struct xfs_inode *ip = XFS_I(inode);
        unsigned int    mode;
        int             error;

        error = xfs_file_open(inode, file);
        if (error)
                return error;
