From: Disha Goel <[email protected]> Online defragmentation is not supported on ext4 DAX-enabled filesystems. The ext4 defrag ioctl (EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT) returns EOPNOTSUPP when used on DAX files. Add an ext4-specific check in _require_defrag() to skip tests when DAX is enabled, avoiding false failures on ext4/301-304, ext4/308, and generic/018. XFS defrag works with DAX, so this check is ext4-specific. Suggested-by: Darrick J.
