Subject: [PATCH v7 00/19] gfs2: Fix mmap + page fault deadlocks

Hi all,

here's another update on top of v5.14-rc7.  Changes:

 * Some of the patch descriptions have been improved.

 * Patch "gfs2: Eliminate ip->i_gh" has been moved further to the front.

At this point, I'm not aware of anything that still needs fixing, 


The first two patches are independent of the core of this patch queue
and I've asked the respective maintainers to have a look, but I've not
heard back from them.  The first patch should just go into Al's tree;
it's a relatively straight-forward fix.  The second patch really needs
to be looked at; it might break things:

  iov_iter: Fix iov_iter_get_pages{,_alloc} page fault return value
  powerpc/kvm: Fix kvm_use_magic_page


Al and Linus seem to have a disagreement about the error reporting
semantics that functions fault_in_{readable,writeable} and
fault_in_iov_iter_{readable,writeable} should have.  I've implemented
Linus's suggestion of returning the number of bytes not faulted in and I
think that being able to tell if "nothing", "something" or "everything"
could be faulted in does help, but I'll live with anything that allows
us to make progress.


The iomap changes should ideally be reviewed by Christoph; I've not
heard from him about those.


Thanks,
Andreas
