dax: fix radix tree insertion race
While running generic/340 in my test setup I hit the following race. It can happen with kernels that support FS DAX PMDs, so v4.10 thru v4.11-rc5. Thread 1 Thread 2 -------- -------- dax_iomap_pmd_fault() grab_mapping_entry() spin_lock_irq() get_unlocked_mapping_entry() 'entry' is NULL, can't call lock_slot() spin_unlock_irq() radix_tree_preload() dax_iomap_pmd_fault() grab_mapping_entry() spin_lock_irq() get_unlocked_mapping_entry() ... lock_slot() spin_unlock_irq() dax_pmd_insert_mapping() <inserts a PMD mapping> spin_lock_irq() __radix_tree_insert() fails with -EEXIST <fall back to 4k fault, and die horribly when inserting a 4k entry where a PMD exists> The issue is that we have to drop mapping->tree_lock while calling radix_tree_preload(), but since we didn't have a radix tree entry to lock (unlike in the pmd_downgrade case) we have no protection against Thread 2 coming along and inserting a PMD at the same index. For 4k entries we handled this with a special-case response to -EEXIST coming from the __radix_tree_insert(), but this doesn't save us for PMDs because the -EEXIST case can also mean that we collided with a 4k entry in the radix tree at a different index, but one that is covered by our PMD range. So, correctly handle both the 4k and 2M collision cases by explicitly re-checking the radix tree for an entry at our index once we reacquire mapping->tree_lock. This patch has made it through a clean xfstests run with the current v4.11-rc5 based linux/master, and it also ran generic/340 500 times in a loop. It used to fail within the first 10 iterations.
