Subject: [PATCH v9 00/16] re-enable DAX PMD support

DAX PMDs have been disabled since Jan Kara introduced DAX radix tree based
locking.  This series allows DAX PMDs to participate in the DAX radix tree
based locking scheme so that they can be re-enabled.

Previously we had talked about this series going through the XFS tree, but
Jan has a patch set that will need to build on this series and it heavily
modifies the MM code.  I think he would prefer that series to go through
Andrew Morton's -MM tree, so it probably makes sense for this series to go
through that same tree.

For reference, here is the series from Jan that I was talking about:
https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=147499252322902&w=2

Andrew, can you please pick this up for the v4.10 merge window?
This series is currently based on v4.9-rc3.  I tried to rebase onto a -mm
branch or tag, but couldn't find one that contained the DAX iomap changes
that were merged as part of the v4.9 merge window.  I'm happy to rebase &
test on a v4.9-rc* based -MM branch or tag whenever they are available.

Changes since v8:
- Rebased onto v4.9-rc3.
- Updated the DAX PMD fault path so that on fallback we always check to see
  if we are dealing with a transparent huge page, and if we are we will
  split it.  This was already happening for one of the fallback cases via a
  patch from Toshi, and Jan hit a deadlock in another fallback case where
  the same splitting was needed.  (Jan & Toshi)

This series has passed all my xfstests testing, including the test that was
hitting the deadlock with v8.

Here is a tree containing my changes:
