Date: Tue, 1 Dec 2020 10:57:11 -0600 From: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@...hat.com> To: torvalds@...ux-foundation.org, Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@...hat.com>, Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@...el.com>, David Howells <dhowells@...hat.com> Cc: linux-fsdevel@...r.kernel.org, linux-man@...r.kernel.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, xfs <linux-xfs@...r.kernel.org>, linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org, Xiaoli Feng <xifeng@...hat.com> Subject: [PATCH 1/2] uapi: fix statx attribute value overlap for DAX & MOUNT_ROOT STATX_ATTR_MOUNT_ROOT and STATX_ATTR_DAX got merged with the same value, so one of them needs fixing. Move STATX_ATTR_DAX. While we're in here, clarify the value-matching scheme for some of the attributes, and explain why the value for DAX does not match.
