[PATCH 1/2] ext4, dax: update dax check to skip journal inode

From: Toshi Kani
Date: Tue Sep 11 2018 - 12:03:37 EST


Ext4 mount path calls ext4_iget() to obtain the journal inode. This
inode does not support DAX, and 'ext4_da_aops' needs to be set. It
currently works for the DAX mount case because ext4_iget() always set
'ext4_da_aops' to any regular files.

ext4_fill_super
ext4_load_journal
ext4_get_journal_inode
ext4_iget

In preparation to fix ext4_iget() to set 'ext4_dax_aops' for DAX files,
update ext4_should_use_dax() to return false for the journal inode.
