Subject: dax: fix data corruption when fault races with write

From: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

commit 13e451fdc1af05568ea379d71c02a126295d2244 upstream.

Currently DAX read fault can race with write(2) in the following way:

CPU1 - write(2)			CPU2 - read fault
				dax_iomap_pte_fault()
				  ->iomap_begin() - sees hole
dax_iomap_rw()
  iomap_apply()
    ->iomap_begin - allocates blocks
    dax_iomap_actor()
      invalidate_inode_pages2_range()
        - there's nothing to invalidate
				  grab_mapping_entry()
				  - we add zero page in the radix tree
				    and map it to page tables

The result is that hole page is mapped into page tables (and thus zeros
are seen in mmap) while file has data written in that place.

Fix the problem by locking exception entry before mapping blocks for the
fault.  That way we are sure invalidate_inode_pages2_range() call for
racing write will either block on entry lock waiting for the fault to
finish (and unmap stale page tables after that) or read fault will see
already allocated blocks by write(2).
