Subject: [PATCH 4.11 085/114] dax: fix PMD data corruption when fault races with write

4.11-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ross Zwisler <ross.zwisler@...ux.intel.com>

commit 876f29460cbd4086b43475890c1bf2488fa11d40 upstream.

This is based on a patch from Jan Kara that fixed the equivalent race in
the DAX PTE fault path.

Currently DAX PMD read fault can race with write(2) in the following
way:

CPU1 - write(2)                 CPU2 - read fault
                                dax_iomap_pmd_fault()
                                  ->iomap_begin() - sees hole

dax_iomap_rw()
  iomap_apply()
    ->iomap_begin - allocates blocks
    dax_iomap_actor()
      invalidate_inode_pages2_range()
        - there's nothing to invalidate

                                  grab_mapping_entry()
				  - we add huge zero page to the radix tree
				    and map it to page tables

The result is that hole page is mapped into page tables (and thus zeros
are seen in mmap) while file has data written in that place.

Fix the problem by locking exception entry before mapping blocks for the
fault.  That way we are sure invalidate_inode_pages2_range() call for
racing write will either block on entry lock waiting for the fault to
finish (and unmap stale page tables after that) or read fault will see
already allocated blocks by write(2).

Fixes: 9f141d6ef6258 ("dax: Call ->iomap_begin without entry lock during dax fault")
