Subject: [PATCH v3] fs/dax: check zero or empty entry before converting xarray entry
Date: Tue, 05 May 2026 16:56:08 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m2jythetpj.fsf@arm.com> (raw)
dax_associate_entry(), dax_disassociate_entry(), and dax_busy_page()
call dax_to_folio(entry) before checking whether entry is a zero or
empty xarray entry.
That ordering is wrong because zero and empty entries are not folio
entries. Commit 98c183a4fccf ("fs/dax: don't disassociate zero page
entries") added guards in the associate and disassociate paths, but the
guards still come after dax_to_folio(entry), and dax_busy_page() still
has the same problem.
Move the zero/empty checks before dax_to_folio(entry) in all three helpers.
Fixes: 38607c62b34b ("fs/dax: properly refcount fs dax pages")
