[GIT PULL] gfs2: Recognize mmap + page fault self-recursion to prevent deadlocks
From: Andreas Gruenbacher
Date: Wed Jun 02 2021 - 07:27:02 EST
Hi Linus,
please consider pulling the following fixes for partially addressing the mmap +
page fault deadlocks. It's not clear to me if and when we'll find a better
solution, and those fixes prevent a kernel BUG in the simple self-recursion
case at least. (This is the case that the new fstest [*] reproduces.)

Thanks,
Andreas
