Bringing this discussion back to the "ext4: introduce per-inode DAX

If we think it's completely unfixable, then maybe XFS should consider
(temporarily) withdrawing the per-file DAX support before there is a
userspace and you have to support it forever, but that's between the
NVM/dax and XFS folks to figure out.

Hi Ted,

I agree, this still has some issues even for ext4. Let's see what we can
do about that and I'll revisit it later.

Thanks!
