[4.3-rc1, regression] dax: hang on i_mmap_rwsem in generic/075

Hi folks,

I'm seeing hangs like this when using DAX on XFS on 4.3-rc1 running
xfstests generic/075 (fsx test):

# echo w > /proc/sysrq-trigger

__dax_fault() gets stuck on this lock:

(gdb) l *(__dax_fault+0x546)
0xffffffff812110b6 is in __dax_fault (include/linux/fs.h:499).
494
495 int mapping_tagged(struct address_space *mapping, int tag);
496
497 static inline void i_mmap_lock_write(struct address_space *mapping)
498 {
499 down_write(&mapping->i_mmap_rwsem);
500 }
501
502 static inline void i_mmap_unlock_write(struct address_space *mapping)
503 {

This didn't happen on 4.2 + the XFS for-next code that was merged
into 4.3-rc1, so it's come from changes somewhere else in the merge.
I suspect either of these two commits:

46c043e mm: take i_mmap_lock in unmap_mapping_range() for DAX
8431729 dax: fix race between simultaneous faults

as they both modified the i_mmap_lock usage for DAX page faults.

Cheers,

Dave.
