Subject[PATCH v2 2/2] dax: fix data corruption due to stale mmap reads
Date
Users of DAX can suffer data corruption from stale mmap reads via the
following sequence:

- open an mmap over a 2MiB hole

- read from a 2MiB hole, faulting in a 2MiB zero page

- write to the hole with write(3p). The write succeeds but we incorrectly
leave the 2MiB zero page mapping intact.

- via the mmap, read the data that was just written. Since the zero page
mapping is still intact we read back zeroes instead of the new data.

We fix this by unconditionally calling invalidate_inode_pages2_range() in
dax_iomap_actor() for new block allocations, and by enhancing
invalidate_inode_pages2_range() so that it properly unmaps the DAX entries
being removed from the radix tree.

This is based on an initial patch from Jan Kara.

I've written an fstest that triggers this error:

Changes since v1:
- Instead of unmapping each DAX entry individually in
__dax_invalidate_mapping_entry(), instead unmap the whole range at once
inside of invalidate_inode_pages2_range(). Each unmap requires an rmap
walk so this should be less expensive, plus now we don't have to drop
and re-acquire the mapping->tree_lock for each entry. (Jan)

These patches apply cleanly to v4.11 and have passed an xfstest run.
They also apply to v4.10.13 with a little help from git am's 3-way merger.
