Any dirty data associated with the inode should be in the form of DAX exceptional entries (mapping->nrexceptional) that is written back via dax_writeback_mapping_range(). With the current code, though, this isn't always true. For example, ext2 and ext4 directory inodes can have S_DAX set, but have their dirty data stored as dirty page cache entries. For these types of inodes, having S_DAX set doesn't really make sense since their I/O doesn't actually happen through the DAX code path. Instead, only allow S_DAX to be set for regular inodes for ext2 and ext4. This allows us to have strict DAX vs non-DAX paths in the writeback code.
