4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx> commit 742d84290739ae908f1b61b7d17ea382c8c0073a upstream. Currently flag switching can be used to easily crash the kernel. Disable the per-inode DAX flag until that is sorted out. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Darrick J.
