Hi Jingbo,

This patch looks correct to me.

Are you able to reproduce the problem? Or you are fixing it based on
code inspection?

How are you testing this? We don't have virtiofsd DAX implementation yet
in rust virtiofsd yet. 

I am not sure how to test this chagne now. We had out of tree patches
in qemu and now qemu has gotten rid of C version of virtiofsd so these
patches might not even work now.

Thanks
Vivek
