[PATCH v4 0/8] gfs2: Fix mmap + page fault deadlocks

[Andreas Gruenbacher]

Hi Linus et al.,

here's another update of this patch queue:

 * Finally fix the typos Linus has pointed out twice already.

 * Turn the previous fault_in_iov_iter helper that was used for reads
   and writes into iov_iter_fault_in_writeable per Al's suggestion.
   Use the existing iov_iter_fault_in_readable for writes.

 * Add a done_before argument and an IOMAP_DIO_FAULT_RETRY flag to
   iomap_dio_rw to allow iomap_dio_rw to return partial results and
   resume with the rest of a request.  This allows iomap_dio_rw to be
   used with page faults disabled without having to repeat any I/O.

 * Adjust the gfs2 patches accordingly.

With that, the two iov_ter patches and the three iomap patches should
hopefully be ready for mainline.

There's one remaining issue on the gfs2 side: during read requests, when
a writer now comes in in the middle of a read request, the read request
can currently return a result that never existed on disk.  So we need
to ensure that we only resume read requests when we know that no writer
got in the way, and retry the entire request otherwise.  It should be
relatively easy to add a mechanism to detect when a glock is "lost";
this won't affect the vfs or iomap patches.

Thanks a lot,
Andreas
