If an inode has inline data it is currently prevented from using DAX by a check in ext4_set_inode_flags(). When the inode grows inline data via ext4_create_inline_data() or removes its inline data via ext4_destroy_inline_data_nolock(), the value of S_DAX can change. Currently these changes are unsafe because we don't hold off page faults and I/O, write back dirty radix tree entries and invalidate all mappings. There are also issues with mm-level races when changing the value of S_DAX, as well as issues with the VM_MIXEDMAP flag: https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-xfs/msg09859.html The unsafe transition of S_DAX can reliably cause data corruption, as shown by the following fstest: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9948381/ Fix this issue by preventing the DAX mount option from being used on filesystems that were created to support inline data. Inline data is an option given to mkfs.ext4.
