This tests checks that the per-inode DAX flag is either reject
or sticks around, and that rapidly setting/clearing it will not
crash the kernel.

Does this test make sense when filesystem was mounted without dax
option? I saw these failures when testing on normal block device without
dax mount option.

If not, I think we need a new _require_test_dax rule similar to
_require_scratch_dax.

Better to name local functions without the leading underscore.

I think we can add an "chattr" entry in  _require_xfs_io_command, and
actually run chattr command with the given option (-x in this case) to
check the xflag support status. (Then the _require_xfs_io_command usage
in xfs/260 should be fixed.)

Sometimes test passed for me without triggering any crashes, and it
finished within 10 seconds, can be a 'quick' test too.

Thanks,

I think the first part that tries to set it makes sense everywhere,
but we should also _notrun for this case and not just for EINVAL.

That being said: right now I don't understand at all where the
EIO when setting the flag comes from, let me figure out where it is.

And thinking about it - why would we not allow setting the flag,
especially given that right now it doesn't have a meaning either
with or without DAX..

At least for the ext4 patches that have been crossing my screen, the
claim from the commit description is that with the dax mount option,
all files are treated as if the DAX flag.  And the point of the DAX
flag is that if the file system is stored on DAX-capable hardware, and
you don't want DAX treatment for all files, that you would set the DAX
flag only for those files where having the file system actually using
the DAX codepaths would make sense --- as opposed to just using the
traditional block I/O paths against the /dev/pmem driver.

So I *think* the answer is that the tax makes sense when the file
system is mounted w/o the dax option, but we do need to check to see
whether the block device is DAX capable.

It also makes an interesting question how we should be testing DAX
capable file systems on /dev/pmem0.  Right now I force the use of
/dev/pmem0 *and* use the DAX mount options so that all of the other
tests will cause file I/O to use the DAX path.  But for the per-inode
DAX flag, we would want to mask out the DAX mount option so we can
test what happens when we toggle the DAX.

But I'm not a DAX expert, so I may have some of this wrong.
