My testing has turned up another case where we can end up doing both page
cache I/O and DAX I/O to the same raw block device. Here is the stack trace
of the error, passed through kasan_symbolize.py:

Here is my minimal reproducer:
#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <linux/falloc.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#define PAGE(a) ((a)*0x1000)
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int i, fd;
char *data_array = (char*) 0x10200000; /* request a 2MiB aligned address with mmap() */
int a;
fd = open("/dev/pmem0", O_RDWR);
if (fd < 0) {
perror("fd");
return 1;
}
data_array = mmap(data_array, PAGE(0x300), PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE,
MAP_SHARED, fd, PAGE(0));
data_array[PAGE(0x0)] = 1;
close(fd);
return 0;
}
I believe what is happening is that I am doing a DAX PMD fault, and that fault
is happening at the same time that an IOCTL is doing a scan for partition
tables. The above stack trace is for a scan of an efi_partition(), but I get a
similar stack trace going through sgi_partition(), ldm_partition(),
msdos_partition(), etc. This looping is happening in check_partition(), as it
loops through the various partition types.
I think the issue essentially is that the partition scanning code doesn't have
a direct I/O code path, at least from what I have found. This means that it's
not calling into DAX, and instead is just using the page cache.
