Dave Chinner reported a deadlock with XFS + DAX, which I reproduced
and bisected to this commit:

commit c2df40dfb8c015211ec55f4b1dd0587f875c7b34
Author: Mike Christie <mchristi@...hat.com>
Date:   Sun Jun 5 14:32:17 2016 -0500
drivers: use req op accessor

Here are the steps to reproduce the deadlock with a BRD ramdisk:

mkfs.xfs -f /dev/ram0
mount -o dax /dev/ram0 /mnt/scratch
xfs_io -f -c "truncate 1g" /mnt/scratch/test.img
losetup -f --show /mnt/scratch/test.img
mkfs.xfs -f /dev/loop0

At this point the mkfs.xfs deadlocks.  Here is the stack trace
gathered via "echo w > /proc/sysrq-trigger" and passed through
kasan_symbolize.py:

brd: module loaded
XFS (ram0): DAX enabled. Warning: EXPERIMENTAL, use at your own risk

The line numbers are for the commit above, not for linux/master.  This
occurs 100% as of this commit, and 0% with the previous commit.

This doesn't occur if you don't use DAX, but based on the content of
the commit I'm guessing that difference is due to variations in the
way the two paths use discard.
