Well, looks like I spoke too soon.  The two tests that were failing for me are
now passing, but I can still create what looks like a related failure using
XFS, DAX, and the two xfstests generic/231 and generic/232 run back-to-back.

Here's the shell:

  # ./check generic/231 generic/232
  FSTYP         -- xfs (debug)
  PLATFORM      -- Linux/x86_64 alara 4.6.0-rc5jan_testing_2+

This was against a tree with your most recent fix.  The full tree can be found
here:

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/zwisler/linux.git/log/?h=jan_testing

This only recreates on about 1/2 of the runs of these tests in my system.

Thanks,
