On a directory, the DAX flag is merely a hint that files created in the directory should have the DAX flag set at creation time. We don't care if the underlying device supports DAX or not because directory metadata are always cached in DRAM. We don't care if new files get the flag even if the device doesn't support DAX because we always check for DAX support before setting the VFS flag (S_DAX). Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
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.
