[PATCH v2-UPDATE 3/3] xfs: Add alignment check for DAX mount

From: Toshi Kani
Date: Wed May 04 2016 - 11:55:01 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.
