4.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Jeff Moyer <jmo...@redhat.com>
commit f0b2e563bc419df7c1b3d2f494574c25125f6aed upstream.
The dax code doesn't currently support misaligned partitions,
so disable O_DIRECT via dax until such time as that support
materializes.
