Shiyang,

I think you used the older patches which does not contain the iomap changes
which would call iomap_begin() with two iomaps. I have it in the btrfs-iomap
branch and plan to update it today. It is built on v5.3-rcX, so it should
contain the changes which moves the iomap code to the different directory.
I will build the dax patches on top of that.
However, we are making a big dependency chain here :(
