From 423497a96d4ac3bf00c0b90e1cbe4d632d9caef2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara Date: Tue, 30 Oct 2018 15:10:47 -0700 Subject: mm: Fix warning in insert_pfn() commit f2c57d91b0d96aa13ccff4e3b178038f17b00658 upstream. In DAX mode a write pagefault can race with write(2) in the following way: CPU0 CPU1 write fault for mapped zero page (hole) dax_iomap_rw() iomap_apply() xfs_file_iomap_begin() - allocates blocks dax_iomap_actor() invalidate_inode_pages2_range() - invalidates radix tree entries in given range dax_iomap_pte_fault() grab_mapping_entry() - no entry found, creates empty ... xfs_file_iomap_begin() - finds already allocated block ... vmf_insert_mixed_mkwrite() - WARNs and does nothing because there is still zero page mapped in PTE unmap_mapping_pages() This race results in WARN_ON from insert_pfn() and is occasionally triggered by fstest generic/344. Note that the race is otherwise harmless as before write(2) on CPU0 is finished, we will invalidate page tables properly and thus user of mmap will see modified data from write(2) from that point on. So just restrict the warning only to the case when the PFN in PTE is not zero page.
