Please write a helper along the lines of:

error = blkdev_supports_dax(sb->s_bdev, sb->s_blocksize);

and encapsulate all this, including the specific error messages in the
helper (i.e. "Block device %s does not support DAX."). Then the rest
of the filesystem code looks something like this:

if (mp->m_flags & XFS_MOUNT_DAX) {
error = blkdev_supports_dax(sb->s_bdev, sb->s_blocksize);
if (error) {
xfs_alert(mp,
"DAX unsupported by block device. Turning off DAX.");
mp->m_flags &= ~XFS_MOUNT_DAX;
}
}

And each filesystem can choose to do what it wants with the error
without having to care exactly why DAX is not supported.

Cheers,

Dave.
