Related to this, nothing sets STATX_ATTR_DAX into statx->attributes_mask, anywhere in the kernel. The flag is set into statx->attributes in vfs_getattr_nosec(), but that does not know whether the particular filesystem under query supports dax or not. This is related to my other email about exactly what attributes_mask means, so should STATX_ATTR_DAX be set in statx->attributes_mask only in the filesystems that support dax? (And should that be done only if CONFIG_DAX is turned on, etc?) -Eric
