[PATCH RFC 4/8] fs/ext4: Introduce DAX inode flag

ira.weiny
2020-04-14T04:01:07Z

From: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@intel.com>

Add a flag to preserve FS_XFLAG_DAX in the ext4 inode.

Set the flag to be user visible and changeable. Set the flag to be
inherited. Allow applications to change the flag at any time.

Finally, on regular files, flag the inode to not be cached to facilitate
changing S_DAX on the next creation of the inode.
