The page faultround path ->map_pages is implemented in XFS via filemap_map_pages(). This function checks that pages found in page cache lookups have not raced with truncate based invalidation by checking page->mapping is correct and page->index is within EOF. However, we've known for a long time that this is not sufficient to protect against races with invalidations done by operations that do not change EOF. e.g. hole punching and other fallocate() based direct extent manipulations. The way we protect against these races is we wrap the page fault operations in a XFS_MMAPLOCK_SHARED lock so they serialise against fallocate and truncate before calling into the filemap function that processes the fault. Do the same for XFS's ->map_pages implementation to close this potential data corruption issue.

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.
