I'll let Dave handle all that.  I've just pulled it in here as multiple
patches conflict with this one.

Ok, I've dropped the ext4 hunk from my branch.

Noted, thanks Dave. I've incorporated the ext4 related change into my patch
series.

I 've done a bit more digging on this, and the ext4 part is not
needed for DAX as IOMAP_F_DIRTY is only used in the page fault path
and hence can't change the file size. As such, this only affects
direct IO. Hence the ext4 hunk can be added to the ext4 iomap-dio
patchset that is being developed rather than being in this patch.

Fixes: 3460cac1ca76 ("iomap: Use FUA for pure data O_DSYNC DIO writes")

Cheers,

Dave.

Looks ok, but need fixes tag.  Also, might it be wise to split off the
ext4 section into a separate patch so that it can be backported
separately?
