Thanks. Despite the huge list of recipients the author of the changes
hasn't been CCed :) I've added Dan to CC since he wrote DAX support for
block devices. It seems somehow the write didn't go through the DAX path
but through the standard page cache write path. Ah, I see, only
file->f_mapping->host has S_DAX set but io_is_direct() which decides
whether DAX or pagecache path should be used for writes uses file->f_inode
which is something different for block devices...
