From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@xxxxxxxxxx> If a file has the S_DAX flag (aka fsdax access mode) set, we cannot allow users to change the realtime flag unless the datadev and rtdev both support fsdax access modes. Even if there are no extents allocated to the file, the setattr thread could be racing with another thread that has already started down the write code paths. Fixes: ba23cba9b3bdc ("fs: allow per-device dax status checking for filesystems") Signed-off-by: Darrick J.
