[PATCH] dax: Fix missed wakeup with PMD faults

From: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)
Date: Wed Jul 03 2019 - 23:21:25 EST


RocksDB can hang indefinitely when using a DAX file. This is due to
a bug in the XArray conversion when handling a PMD fault and finding a
PTE entry. We use the wrong index in the hash and end up waiting on
the wrong waitqueue.

There's actually no need to wait; if we find a PTE entry while looking
for a PMD entry, we can return immediately as we know we should fall
back to a PTE fault (which may not conflict with the lock held).

Fixes: b15cd800682f ("dax: Convert page fault handlers to XArray")
