For example the following can happen: CPU0 (THP write fault) CPU1 (normal read fault) __dax_pmd_fault() __dax_fault() get_block(inode, block, &bh, 0) -> not mapped get_block(inode, block, &bh, 0) -> not mapped if (!buffer_mapped(&bh) && write) get_block(inode, block, &bh, 1) -> allocates blocks truncate_pagecache_range(inode, lstart, lend); dax_load_hole(); This results in data corruption since process on CPU1 won't see changes into the file done by CPU0. The race can happen even if two normal faults race however with THP the situation is even worse because the two faults don't operate on the same entries in the radix tree and we want to use these entries for serialization. So disable THP support in DAX code for now.
