This reverts commits 46c043ede4711e8d598b9d63c5616c1fedb0605e
and 8346c416d17bf5b4ea1508662959bb62e73fd6a5.
The following two locking commits in the DAX code:
commit 843172978bb9 ("dax: fix race between simultaneous faults")
commit 46c043ede471 ("mm: take i_mmap_lock in unmap_mapping_range() for DAX")
introduced a number of deadlocks and other issues, and need to be
reverted for the v4.3 kernel. The list of issues in DAX after these
commits (some newly introduced by the commits, some preexisting) can be
found here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/9/25/602
This revert keeps the PMEM API changes to the zeroing code in
__dax_pmd_fault(), which were added by this commit:
commit d77e92e270ed ("dax: update PMD fault handler with PMEM API")
