From 0df9d41ab5d43dc5b20abc8b22a6b6d098b03994 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yigal Korman Date: Mon, 16 Nov 2015 14:09:15 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] mm, dax: fix DAX deadlocks (COW fault) DAX handling of COW faults has wrong locking sequence: dax_fault does i_mmap_lock_read do_cow_fault does i_mmap_unlock_write Ross's commit[1] missed a fix[2] that Kirill added to Matthew's commit[3]. Original COW locking logic was introduced by Matthew here[4]. This should be applied to v4.3 as well.
