But then I came across these two patches [1] [2]. It seems the change [1] to set IOMAP_F_DIRTY was initially only done for IOMAP_WRITE path. But patch [2] moved some logic to fs-dax core and filesystems were left to always just reports if there is any dirty metadata, irrespective of reads or writes.

Should we CC: stable to when ext4 DIO was moved to iomap atleast - which I believe was v5.5? Looks good to me.
