Yes...

You'll have to port the entire FALLOC_FL_FUNSHARE code path to fsdax too
-- it uses the page cache to stage the COW, which then confuses fsdax
when it finds and trips over DRAM pages in the mapping. That eliminates
one of the warnings (to be fair I just EONOTSUPP'd FUNSHARE to make that
path go away) but it still produced massive data corruption.

We no longer have any pmem products in our pipeline, so I will just say
that if the corruption problems aren't resolved by the end of 6.1-rcX
I'm hiding fsdax support behind CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG or just turning it off
entirely. I don't want to burden whoever becomes the 6.1 XFS LTS
maintainer with a slew of fsdax data corruption errors.

Ok, thank you. :)
