[PATCH v3 1/1] dax: Fix stack overflow when mounting fsdax pmem device

[PATCH v3 1/1] dax: Fix stack overflow when mounting fsdax pmem device

[Adrian Huang]

From: Adrian Huang <ahuang12@lenovo.com>

When mounting fsdax pmem device, commit 6180bb446ab6 ("dax: fix
detection of dax support for non-persistent memory block devices")
introduces the stack overflow [1][2]. Here is the call path for
mounting ext4 file system:
  ext4_fill_super
    bdev_dax_supported
      __bdev_dax_supported
        dax_supported
          generic_fsdax_supported
            __generic_fsdax_supported
              bdev_dax_supported

The call path leads to the infinite calling loop, so we cannot
call bdev_dax_supported() in __generic_fsdax_supported(). The sanity
checking of the variable 'dax_dev' is moved prior to the two
bdev_dax_pgoff() checks [3][4].

Although I see that this is fix is already applied but ccing fsdevel and
ext4 since I ended up debugging and coming to the same conclusion as
this patch is fixing the recursion loop.
If not already applied then feel free to add:
