Hi

There's a bug when you run strace from dax-based filesystem.

-- create real or emulated persistent memory device (/dev/pmem0)
mkfs.ext2 /dev/pmem0
-- mount it
mount -t ext2 -o dax /dev/pmem0 /mnt/test
-- copy the system to it (well, you can copy just a few files that are 
   needed for running strace and ls)
cp -ax / /mnt/test
-- bind the system directories
mount --bind /dev /mnt/test/dev
mount --bind /proc /mnt/test/proc
mount --bind /sys /mnt/test/sys
-- run strace on the ls command
chroot /mnt/test/ strace /bin/ls

You get this warning and ls is killed with SIGSEGV.

I bisected the problem and it is caused by the commit 
17839856fd588f4ab6b789f482ed3ffd7c403e1f (gup: document and work around 
"COW can break either way" issue). When I revert the patch (on the kernel 
5.9-rc3), the bug goes away.
