DAX effective mode (S_DAX) changes requires inode eviction. XFS has an advisory flag (XFS_IDONTCACHE) to prevent caching of the inode if no other additional references are taken. We lift this flag to the VFS layer and change the behavior slightly by allowing the flag to remain even if multiple references are taken. This will expedite the eviction of inodes to change S_DAX.

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.
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.
