Subject: Re: xfstests xfs fuzzers fail with DAX

[ Adding Darrick on the off chance that this triggers an "aha, of
course it does!" ]

Darrick these corruption tests you added to xfstests last year all
fail the same way with DAX enabled.  They spew:

    "pwrite64: Structure needs cleaning"

...reports that are cleaned up by running without "-o dax".

Alternatively you could sit back and watch me try to figure it out,
that should be quite entertaining... as a start I'll try to pin down a
stack trace when the error is returned.
