Ah yea... Sorry.
Fixed in V7

This sounds good but I think we need a slight modification to make the function equivalent in functionality.
void
xfs_diflags_to_iflags(
struct xfs_inode *ip,
bool init)
{
struct inode *inode = VFS_I(ip);
unsigned int xflags = xfs_ip2xflags(ip);
unsigned int flags = 0;
inode->i_flags &= ~(S_IMMUTABLE | S_APPEND | S_SYNC | S_NOATIME |
S_DAX);
if (xflags & FS_XFLAG_IMMUTABLE)
flags |= S_IMMUTABLE;
if (xflags & FS_XFLAG_APPEND)
flags |= S_APPEND;
if (xflags & FS_XFLAG_SYNC)
flags |= S_SYNC;
if (xflags & FS_XFLAG_NOATIME)
flags |= S_NOATIME;
if (init && xfs_inode_enable_dax(ip))
flags |= S_DAX;
inode->i_flags |= flags;
}
I've queued this for v7.
