We add 'always', 'never', and 'inode' (default). '-o dax' continues to operate the same which is equivalent to 'always'. The following behavior is consistent with that on ext4/xfs: - The default behavior (when neither '-o dax' nor '-o dax=always|never|inode' option is specified) is equal to 'inode' mode, while 'dax=inode' won't be printed among the mount option list. - The 'inode' mode is only advisory. It will silently fallback to 'never' mode if fuse server doesn't support that. Also noted that by the time of this commit, 'inode' mode is actually equal to 'always' mode, before the per inode DAX flag is introduced in the following patch.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
