[4.9-stable PATCH 10/11] mm: fail get_vaddr_frames() for filesystem-dax mappings

From: Dan Williams
Date: Fri Feb 23 2018 - 17:15:29 EST


commit b7f0554a56f21fb3e636a627450a9add030889be upstream.

Until there is a solution to the dma-to-dax vs truncate problem it is
not safe to allow V4L2, Exynos, and other frame vector users to create
long standing / irrevocable memory registrations against filesytem-dax
vmas.

[dan.j.williams@xxxxxxxxx: add comment for vma_is_fsdax() check in get_vaddr_frames(), per Jan]
