General thoughts. I think additional policies like "dax=always" and "dax=none" will also make sense. "dax=always" will set ATTR_FLAG_DAX on all inodes. "dax=none" is default as of now but if somebody wants to enforce it, they can pass it explicitly, just in case default changes later down the line. It should be trivial to add these two policies as well now. I am little concenred with "dax=filesize". It has implicit threshold of 32KB. What if somebody wants threshold of 64KB or 1MB or even higher? One option would be to add another option say, --dax-filesize-threshold=<foo> and that will allow one to override default. Or we could hardcode threshold in policy name say filesize_32KB or filesize_1MB etc. I guess adding a separate option to modify filesize threshold is better because it will allow wide range of values. So "dax=filesize" will just mean that there is an inbuilt threshold of 32KB to enable dax and and user can override it by passing new option --dax-filesize-threshold (TBD in future when somebody needs it).
