PMD faults on a zero length file on a file system mounted with -o dax will not generate SIGBUS as expected. fd = open(...O_TRUNC); addr = mmap(NULL, 2*1024*1024, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); *addr = 'a'; <expect SIGBUS> The problem is this code in dax_iomap_pmd_fault: max_pgoff = (i_size_read(inode) - 1) >> PAGE_SHIFT; If the inode size is zero, we end up with a max_pgoff that is way larger than 0. :) Fix it by using DIV_ROUND_UP, as is done elsewhere in the kernel. I tested this with some simple test code that ensured that SIGBUS was received where expected.
