Hi,

Not sure why do we need FUSE_DAX_NONE. Now default is FUSE_DAX_INODE
and "-o dax" will map to FUSE_DAX_ALWAYS. So after this patch series,
nobody should be using FUSE_DAX_NONE state at all? So we should be
able to get rid of entirely?

This is confusing. Why FUSE_DAX_NONE is equivalent to inode dax mode.
Is it because you want FUSE_DAX_INODE as default. If that's the case,
lets get rid of FUSE_DAX_NONE and just set FUSE_DAX_INODE as default?

I guess this answers the question about FUSE_DAX_NONE. You want to
keep track if user passed in "dax=inode" or you defaulted to dax=inode.
And if you defaulted to "dax=inode" you don't want to show it in fuse
options.

Hmm..., if that's the intent, I would rather keep the names like this.

FUSE_DAX_INODE_USER and FUSE_DAX_INODE_DEFAULT. This clearly tells
me the difference between two states.

	   ^^
Why do we need this check. IOW, why following check alone is not
sufficient.

		 ^^^

If user specified dax mode FUSE_DAX_ALWAYS, we need to make sure fs device
supports dax.  And second if condition seems sufficient.
