Subject: [-mm PATCH v2 06/25] dax: Split pmd map when fallback on COW
Date: Wed, 09 Dec 2015 18:37:41 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20151210023741.30368.16173.stgit@dwillia2-desk3.jf.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20151210023708.30368.92962.stgit@dwillia2-desk3.jf.intel.com>

From: Toshi Kani <toshi.kani@hpe.com>

An infinite loop of PMD faults was observed when attempted to
mlock() a private read-only PMD mmap'd range of a DAX file.

__dax_pmd_fault() simply returns with VM_FAULT_FALLBACK when
falling back to PTE on COW.  However, __handle_mm_fault()
returns without falling back to handle_pte_fault() because
a PMD map is present in this case.

Change __dax_pmd_fault() to split the PMD map, if present,
before returning with VM_FAULT_FALLBACK.
