In DAX mode a write pagefault can race with write(2) in the following
way:
CPU0 CPU1
write fault for mapped zero page (hole)
dax_iomap_rw()
iomap_apply()
xfs_file_iomap_begin()
- allocates blocks
dax_iomap_actor()
invalidate_inode_pages2_range()
- invalidates radix tree entries in given range
dax_iomap_pte_fault()
grab_mapping_entry()
- no entry found, creates empty
...
xfs_file_iomap_begin()
- finds already allocated block
...
vmf_insert_mixed_mkwrite()
- WARNs and does nothing because there
is still zero page mapped in PTE
unmap_mapping_pages()
This race results in WARN_ON from insert_pfn() and is occasionally
triggered by fstest generic/344. Note that the race is otherwise
harmless as before write(2) on CPU0 is finished, we will invalidate page
tables properly and thus user of mmap will see modified data from
write(2) from that point on. So just restrict the warning only to the
case when the PFN in PTE is not zero page.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
