[PATCH 5.11 311/342] ext4: allow the dax flag to be set and cleared on inline directories

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon May 10 2021 - 08:02:38 EST


From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@xxxxxxx>

commit 4811d9929cdae4238baf5b2522247bd2f9fa7b50 upstream.

This is needed to allow generic/607 to pass for file systems with the
inline data_feature enabled, and it allows the use of file systems
where the directories use inline_data, while the files are accessed
via DAX.
