From: Jan Kara Date: Fri, 12 May 2017 22:46:54 +0000 (-0700) Subject: ext4: return to starting transaction in ext4_dax_huge_fault() X-Git-Url: http://git.cdn.openwrt.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=fb26a1cbed8c90025572d48bc9eabe59f7571e88;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git ext4: return to starting transaction in ext4_dax_huge_fault() DAX will return to locking exceptional entry before mapping blocks for a page fault to fix possible races with concurrent writes. To avoid lock inversion between exceptional entry lock and transaction start, start the transaction already in ext4_dax_huge_fault().
