With this patch it doesn't deadlock, but the test dies with a SIGBUS and we hit a WARN_ON in the DAX code: WARNING: CPU: 5 PID: 1678 at fs/dax.c:226 get_unlocked_entry+0xf7/0x120 I don't have a lot of time this week to debug further. The quickest path to victory is probably for you to get this reproducing in your test setup. Does XFS + DAX + generic/340 pass for you?
