Ross Zwisler e9072d859d ext4: prevent data corruption with journaling + DAX
The current code has the potential for data corruption when changing an
inode's journaling mode, as that can result in a subsequent unsafe change
in S_DAX.

I've captured an instance of this data corruption in the following fstest:

https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9948377/

Prevent this data corruption from happening by disallowing changes to the
journaling mode if the '-o dax' mount option was used.  This means that for
a given filesystem we could have a mix of inodes using either DAX or
data journaling, but whatever state the inodes are in will be held for the
duration of the mount.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
