The end results with dax+reflink were:

Ok, so I did a new no-reflink run as a baseline, because it is a
while since I've tested DAX at all:

Yeah, there's still lots of warnings from dax_insert_entry() and
friends like:

So it looks to me like DAX is well and truly broken in 6.0-rc6. And,
yes, I'm running the fixes in mm-hotifxes-stable branch that allow
xfs/550 to pass.

Who is actually testing this DAX code, and what are they actually
testing on? These are not random failures - I haven't run DAX
testing since ~5.18, and none of these failures were present on the
same DAX test VM running the same configuration back then....

-Dave.
