dax: fix data corruption when fault races with write
commit 13e451fd upstream. Currently DAX read fault can race with write(2) in the following way: CPU1 - write(2) CPU2 - read fault dax_iomap_pte_fault() ->iomap_begin() - sees hole dax_iomap_rw() iomap_apply() ->iomap_begin - allocates blocks dax_iomap_actor() invalidate_inode_pages2_range() - there's nothing to invalidate grab_mapping_entry() - we add zero page in the radix tree and map it to page tables The result is that hole page is mapped into page tables (and thus zeros are seen in mmap) while file has data written in that place. Fix the problem by locking exception entry before mapping blocks for the fault. That way we are sure invalidate_inode_pages2_range() call for racing write will either block on entry lock waiting for the fault to finish (and unmap stale page tables after that) or read fault will see already allocated blocks by write(2).
