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")
