4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Ross Zwisler <ross.zwisler@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 6851a3db7e224bbb85e23b3c64a506c9e0904382 upstream. Currently only the blocksize is checked, but we should really be calling bdev_dax_supported() which also tests to make sure we can get a struct dax_device and that the dax_direct_access() path is working. This is the same check that we do for the "-o dax" mount option in xfs_fs_fill_super(). This does not fix the race issues that caused the XFS DAX inode option to be disabled, so that option will still be disabled. If/when we re-enable it, though, I think we will want this issue to have been fixed. I also do think that we want to fix this in stable kernels.
