[PATCH 4.10 24/24] device-dax: switch to srcu, fix rcu_read_lock() vs pte allocation

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

4.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>

commit 956a4cd2c957acf638ff29951aabaa9d8e92bbc2 upstream.

The following warning triggers with a new unit test that stresses the
device-dax interface.

 ===============================
 [ ERR: suspicious RCU usage.  ]
 4.11.0-rc4+ #1049 Tainted: G           O
 -------------------------------
 ./include/linux/rcupdate.h:521 Illegal context switch in RCU read-side critical section!

 other info that might help us debug this:

Inserting a page table entry may trigger an allocation while we are
holding a read lock to keep the device instance alive for the duration
of the fault. Use srcu for this keep-alive protection.
