[GIT PULL] dax fixes for 4.19-rc8

[GIT PULL] dax fixes for 4.19-rc8

[Williams, Dan J]

Hi Greg, please pull from:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm tags/libnvdimm-fixes-4.19-rc8

...to receive (2) urgent dax fixes for 4.19-rc8. They have appeared in
a -next release.

However, note that commit d7782145e1ad ("filesystem-dax: Fix
dax_layout_busy_page() livelock") is immediately replaced with the
Xarray conversion targeting 4.20, so d7782145e1ad is the backport
suitable fix for the livelock for v4.19 and earlier.

Please pull, thanks!

  mm: Preserve _PAGE_DEVMAP across mprotect() calls (2018-10-09 11:44:58 -0700)

----------------------------------------------------------------
libnvdimm/dax 4.19-rc8

* Fix a livelock in dax_layout_busy_page() present since v4.18. The
  lockup triggers when truncating an actively mapped huge page out of a
  mapping pinned for direct-I/O.

* Fix mprotect() clobbers of _PAGE_DEVMAP. Broken since v4.5 mprotect()
  clears this flag that is needed to communicate the liveness of device
  pages to the get_user_pages() path.
