I actually meant something more like:

static bool
xfs_file_open_can_atomicwrite(
	struct file		*file,
	struct inode		*inode)
{
	struct xfs_inode	*ip = XFS_I(inode);
	struct xfs_mount	*mp = ip->i_mount;
	struct xfs_buftarg	*target = xfs_inode_buftarg(ip);

	if (!(file->f_flags & O_DIRECT))
		return false;
	if (!xfs_inode_has_atomicwrites(ip))
		return false;
	if (mp->m_dalign && (mp->m_dalign % ip->i_extsize))
		return false;
	if (mp->m_swidth && (mp->m_swidth % ip->i_extsize))
		return false;
	if (mp->m_sb.sb_blocksize < target->bt_bdev_awu_min)
		return false;
	if (xfs_inode_alloc_unitsize(ip) > target->bt_bdev_awu_max)
		return false;
	return true;
}
