dax: fix radix tree insertion race
While running generic/340 in my test setup I hit the following race. It
can happen with kernels that support FS DAX PMDs, so v4.10 thru
v4.11-rc5.
Thread 1 Thread 2
-------- --------
dax_iomap_pmd_fault()
grab_mapping_entry()
spin_lock_irq()
get_unlocked_mapping_entry()
'entry' is NULL, can't call lock_slot()
spin_unlock_irq()
radix_tree_preload()
dax_iomap_pmd_fault()
grab_mapping_entry()
spin_lock_irq()
get_unlocked_mapping_entry()
...
lock_slot()
spin_unlock_irq()
dax_pmd_insert_mapping()
<inserts a PMD mapping>
spin_lock_irq()
__radix_tree_insert() fails with -EEXIST
<fall back to 4k fault, and die horribly
when inserting a 4k entry where a PMD exists>
The issue is that we have to drop mapping->tree_lock while calling
radix_tree_preload(), but since we didn't have a radix tree entry to
lock (unlike in the pmd_downgrade case) we have no protection against
Thread 2 coming along and inserting a PMD at the same index. For 4k
entries we handled this with a special-case response to -EEXIST coming
from the __radix_tree_insert(), but this doesn't save us for PMDs
because the -EEXIST case can also mean that we collided with a 4k entry
in the radix tree at a different index, but one that is covered by our
PMD range.
So, correctly handle both the 4k and 2M collision cases by explicitly
re-checking the radix tree for an entry at our index once we reacquire
mapping->tree_lock.
This patch has made it through a clean xfstests run with the current
v4.11-rc5 based linux/master, and it also ran generic/340 500 times in a
loop. It used to fail within the first 10 iterations.
