Users of DAX can suffer data corruption from stale mmap reads via the
following sequence:
- open an mmap over a 2MiB hole
- read from a 2MiB hole, faulting in a 2MiB zero page
- write to the hole with write(3p). The write succeeds but we incorrectly
leave the 2MiB zero page mapping intact.
- via the mmap, read the data that was just written. Since the zero page
mapping is still intact we read back zeroes instead of the new data.
We fix this by unconditionally calling invalidate_inode_pages2_range() in
dax_iomap_actor() for new block allocations, and by enhancing
__dax_invalidate_mapping_entry() so that it properly unmaps the DAX entry
being removed from the radix tree.
This is based on an initial patch from Jan Kara.
