[PATCH v2 2/3] ext2: Add alignment check for DAX mount

From: Toshi Kani
Date: Mon May 02 2016 - 14:52:54 EST


When a partition is not aligned by 4KB, mount -o dax succeeds,
but any read/write access to the filesystem fails, except for
metadata update.

Call bdev_direct_access to check the alignment when -o dax is
specified.
