[PATCH] fs/dax: Fix pmd vs pte conflict detection

From: Dan Williams
Date: Sat Oct 19 2019 - 12:40:45 EST


Check for NULL entries before checking the entry order, otherwise NULL
is misinterpreted as a present pte conflict. The 'order' check needs to
happen before the locked check as an unlocked entry at the wrong order
must fallback to lookup the correct order.
