[merged] dax-prevent-invalidation-of-mapped-dax-entries.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm]

The patch titled
     Subject: dax: prevent invalidation of mapped DAX entries
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     dax-prevent-invalidation-of-mapped-dax-entries.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

From: Ross Zwisler <ross.zwisler@linux.intel.com>
Subject: dax: prevent invalidation of mapped DAX entries

Patch series "mm,dax: Fix data corruption due to mmap inconsistency", v4.

This series fixes data corruption that can happen for DAX mounts when page
faults race with write(2) and as a result page tables get out of sync with
block mappings in the filesystem and thus data seen through mmap is
different from data seen through read(2).

The series passes testing with t_mmap_stale test program from Ross and
also other mmap related tests on DAX filesystem.


This patch (of 4):

dax_invalidate_mapping_entry() currently removes DAX exceptional entries
only if they are clean and unlocked.  This is done via:

invalidate_mapping_pages()
  invalidate_exceptional_entry()
    dax_invalidate_mapping_entry()

However, for page cache pages removed in invalidate_mapping_pages() there
is an additional criteria which is that the page must not be mapped.  This
is noted in the comments above invalidate_mapping_pages() and is checked
in invalidate_inode_page().

For DAX entries this means that we can can end up in a situation where a
DAX exceptional entry, either a huge zero page or a regular DAX entry,
could end up mapped but without an associated radix tree entry.  This is
inconsistent with the rest of the DAX code and with what happens in the
page cache case.

We aren't able to unmap the DAX exceptional entry because according to its
comments invalidate_mapping_pages() isn't allowed to block, and
unmap_mapping_range() takes a write lock on the mapping->i_mmap_rwsem.

Since we essentially never have unmapped DAX entries to evict from the
radix tree, just remove dax_invalidate_mapping_entry().
