Linus Torvalds c03098d4b9 gfs2: Fix mmap + page fault deadlocks
Functions gfs2_file_read_iter and gfs2_file_write_iter are both
 accessing the user buffer to write to or read from while holding the
 inode glock.  In the most basic scenario, that buffer will not be
 resident and it will be mapped to the same file.  Accessing the buffer
 will trigger a page fault, and gfs2 will deadlock trying to take the
 same inode glock again while trying to handle that fault.
 
 Fix that and similar, more complex scenarios by disabling page faults
 while accessing user buffers.  To make this work, introduce a small
 amount of new infrastructure and fix some bugs that didn't trigger so
 far, with page faults enabled.

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.
