Better, but I'm going to be an annoying pedant here: a "can
<something>" check should return a boolean true/false.

Also, it's a bit jarring to see that a non-direct VMA that /can't/
do direct faults returns the same thing as a direct-vma that /can/
do direct faults, so a couple of extra comments for people who will
quickly forget how this code works (i.e. me) will be helpful. Say
something like this:

/*
 * MAP_DIRECT faults can only be serviced while the FL_LAYOUT lease is
 * valid. See map_direct_invalidate.
 */
static bool
xfs_vma_has_direct_lease(
	struct vm_area_struct	*vma)
{
	/* Non MAP_DIRECT vmas do not require layout leases */
	if (!xfs_vma_is_direct(vma))
		return true;

	if (!test_map_direct_valid(vma->vm_private_data))
		return false;

	/* We have a valid lease */
	return true;
}

.....
	if (!xfs_vma_has_direct_lease(vma)) {
		ret = VM_FAULT_SIGBUS;
		goto out_unlock;
	}
....

Cheers,

Dave.
