[PATCH v2] generic/608: verify S_DAX is active immediately for DONTCACHE

[PATCH v2] generic/608: verify S_DAX is active immediately for DONTCACHE

[XiaoLi Feng]

From: Xiaoli Feng <xifeng@redhat.com>

After upstream linux patches(77573fa310d, 88149082bb8), if
FS_XFLAG_DAX is set, DONTCACHE is also set. So S_DAX on the file
should be active immediately once FS_XFLAG_DAX is set.

Hi XiaoLi,

It is better to add the related commits here.

I want to add a similar comment in front of "_check_s_dax $t_file 0":
-------------------------------------
50 $XFS_IO_PROG -c 'chattr +x' $t_file
51 _check_xflag $t_file 1
52 # One application is using test file and check if S_DAX on
53 # the file doesn't take effect immediately
54 _check_s_dax $t_file 0
-------------------------------------

Please remove the 'by drop_caches'

Inheriting xflag and S_DAX from the parent directory is a good variety
so I want to keep the $t_dir which has enabled xflag.
