[PATCH 3/3] xfs: Add alignment check for DAX mount

From: Toshi Kani
Date: Fri Apr 29 2016 - 16:48:38 EST


When a partition is not aligned by 4KB, mount -o dax succeeds,
but any read/write access to the filesystem fails, except for
metadata update.

Add alignment check to xfs_fs_fill_super() when -o dax is
specified.
