Firstly, I think the "XFS_IOC_CLONE_RANGE: Invalid argument" error is
caused by the restrictions which prevent reflink work together with DAX:
a. fs/xfs/xfs_ioctl.c:1141
/* Don't allow us to set DAX mode for a reflinked file for now. */
if ((fa->fsx_xflags & FS_XFLAG_DAX) && xfs_is_reflink_inode(ip))
return -EINVAL;
b. fs/xfs/xfs_iops.c:1174
/* Only supported on non-reflinked files. */
if (xfs_is_reflink_inode(ip))
return false;
These restrictions were removed in "drop experimental warning" patch[1].
I think they should be separated from that patch.

Secondly, how the data corruption happened? Or which case failed? Could
you give me more info (such as mkfs options, xfstests configs)?

Still working on it...

I'll hurry up and try my best to solve these problems.
