I think this should just be a one-liner:

- return (filp->f_flags & O_DIRECT) || IS_DAX(file_inode(filp));
+ return (filp->f_flags & O_DIRECT) || IS_DAX(filp->f_mapping->host);

This does the right thing for block device inodes and filesystem inodes.
(see the opening stanzas of __dax_fault for an example).
