[PATCH v2 0/4] Write protect DAX PMDs in *sync path

[Ross Zwisler <ross.zwisler@linux.intel.com>]

Currently dax_mapping_entry_mkclean() fails to clean and write protect the
pmd_t of a DAX PMD entry during an *sync operation.  This can result in
data loss, as detailed in patch 4.

You can find a working tree here:

This series applies cleanly to mmotm-2016-12-19-16-31.

Changes since v1:
 - Included Dan's patch to kill DAX support for UML.
 - Instead of wrapping the DAX PMD code in dax_mapping_entry_mkclean() in
   an #ifdef, we now create a stub for pmdp_huge_clear_flush() for the case
   when CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE isn't defined. (Dan & Jan)

Dan Williams (1):
  dax: kill uml support

Ross Zwisler (3):
  dax: add stub for pmdp_huge_clear_flush()
  mm: add follow_pte_pmd()
  dax: wrprotect pmd_t in dax_mapping_entry_mkclean
