Qiuyang Sun 5a3a2d83cd f2fs: dax: fix races between page faults and truncating pages
Currently in F2FS, page faults and operations that truncate the pagecahe
or data blocks, are completely unsynchronized. This can result in page
fault faulting in a page into a range that we are changing after
truncating, and thus we can end up with a page mapped to disk blocks that
will be shortly freed. Filesystem corruption will shortly follow.

This patch fixes the problem by creating new rw semaphore i_mmap_sem in
f2fs_inode_info and grab it for functions removing blocks from extent tree
and for read over page faults. The mechanism is similar to that in ext4.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
