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. [1] 0f90cc6609c7 mm, dax: fix DAX deadlocks [2] 52a2b53ffde6 mm, dax: use i_mmap_unlock_write() in do_cow_fault() [3] 843172978bb9 dax: fix race between simultaneous faults [4] 2e4cdab0584f mm: allow page fault handlers to perform the COW Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Cc: Boaz Harrosh <boaz@plexistor.com> Cc: Alexander Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Cc: Jan Kara <jack@suse.com> Cc: "Kirill A.
