This might be a good time to introduce a few new helpers:

Hi Darrick,

Now, I am trying to introduce these new helpers and have some questions:
1) There are five testcases related to old dax implementation, should we only convert them to new dax implementation or make them compatible with old and new dax implementation?

2) I think _require_xfs_io_command "chattr" "x" is enough to check if fs supports FS_XFLAG_DAX. Is it necessary to add _require_scratch_dax_iflag()? like this:
_require_scratch_dax_iflag()
{
_require_xfs_io_command "chattr" "x"
}

Best Regards,
