    "As of now dax_layout_busy_page() calls unmap_mapping_range() with last
     argument as 1, which says even unmap cow pages. I am wondering who needs
     to get rid of cow pages as well.

     I noticed one interesting side affect of this. I mount xfs with -o dax and
     mmaped a file with MAP_PRIVATE and wrote some data to a page which created
     cow page. Then I called fallocate() on that file to zero a page of file.
     fallocate() called dax_layout_busy_page() which unmapped cow pages as well
     and then I tried to read back the data I wrote and what I get is old
     data from persistent memory. I lost the data I had written. This
     read basically resulted in new fault and read back the data from
     persistent memory.

     This sounds wrong. Are there any users which need to unmap cow pages
     as well? If not, I am proposing changing it to not unmap cow pages.

     I noticed this while while writing virtio_fs code where when I tried
     to reclaim a memory range and that corrupted the executable and I
     was running from virtio-fs and program got segment violation."

Dan:

    "In fact the unmap_mapping_range() in this path is only to synchronize
     against get_user_pages_fast() and force it to call back into the
     filesystem to re-establish the mapping. COW pages should be left
     untouched by dax_layout_busy_page()."

The condition checking whether put_unlocked_entry() needs to wake up
following waiter got broken by commit 23c84eb78375 ("dax: Fix missed
wakeup with PMD faults"). We need to wake the waiter whenever the passed
entry is valid (i.e., non-NULL and not special conflict entry). This
could lead to processes never being woken up when waiting for entry
lock. Fix the condition.

RocksDB can hang indefinitely when using a DAX file.  This is due to
a bug in the XArray conversion when handling a PMD fault and finding a
PTE entry.  We use the wrong index in the hash and end up waiting on
the wrong waitqueue.

There's actually no need to wait; if we find a PTE entry while looking
for a PMD entry, we can return immediately as we know we should fall
back to a PTE fault (which may not conflict with the lock held).

We reuse the XA_RETRY_ENTRY to signal a conflicting entry was found.
This value can never be found in an XArray while holding its lock, so
it does not create an ambiguity.

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle are:

   - rwsem scalability improvements, phase #2, by Waiman Long, which are
     rather impressive:

       "On a 2-socket 40-core 80-thread Skylake system with 40 reader
        and writer locking threads, the min/mean/max locking operations
        done in a 5-second testing window before the patchset were:

         40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,807/1,808/1,810
         40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,807/50,344/151,255

        After the patchset, they became:

         40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 30,057/31,359/32,741
         40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 94,466/95,845/97,098"

     There's a lot of changes to the locking implementation that makes
     it similar to qrwlock, including owner handoff for more fair
     locking.

     Another microbenchmark shows how across the spectrum the
     improvements are:

       "With a locking microbenchmark running on 5.1 based kernel, the
        total locking rates (in kops/s) on a 2-socket Skylake system
        with equal numbers of readers and writers (mixed) before and
        after this patchset were:

        # of Threads   Before Patch      After Patch
        ------------   ------------      -----------
             2            2,618             4,193
             4            1,202             3,726
             8              802             3,622
            16              729             3,359
            32              319             2,826
            64              102             2,744"

     The changes are extensive and the patch-set has been through
     several iterations addressing various locking workloads. There
     might be more regressions, but unless they are pathological I
     believe we want to use this new implementation as the baseline
     going forward.

   - jump-label optimizations by Daniel Bristot de Oliveira: the primary
     motivation was to remove IPI disturbance of isolated RT-workload
     CPUs, which resulted in the implementation of batched jump-label
     updates. Beyond the improvement of the real-time characteristics
     kernel, in one test this patchset improved static key update
     overhead from 57 msecs to just 1.4 msecs - which is a nice speedup
     as well.

   - atomic64_t cross-arch type cleanups by Mark Rutland: over the last
     ~10 years of atomic64_t existence the various types used by the
     APIs only had to be self-consistent within each architecture -
     which means they became wildly inconsistent across architectures.
     Mark puts and end to this by reworking all the atomic64
     implementations to use 's64' as the base type for atomic64_t, and
     to ensure that this type is consistently used for parameters and
     return values in the API, avoiding further problems in this area.

   - A large set of small improvements to lockdep by Yuyang Du: type
     cleanups, output cleanups, function return type and othr cleanups
     all around the place.

   - A set of percpu ops cleanups and fixes by Peter Zijlstra.

   - Misc other changes - please see the Git log for more details"

     The changes are extensive and the patch-set has been through
     several iterations addressing various locking workloads. There
     might be more regressions, but unless they are pathological I
     believe we want to use this new implementation as the baseline
     going forward.

   - jump-label optimizations by Daniel Bristot de Oliveira: the primary
     motivation was to remove IPI disturbance of isolated RT-workload
     CPUs, which resulted in the implementation of batched jump-label
     updates. Beyond the improvement of the real-time characteristics
     kernel, in one test this patchset improved static key update
     overhead from 57 msecs to just 1.4 msecs - which is a nice speedup
     as well.

   - atomic64_t cross-arch type cleanups by Mark Rutland: over the last
     ~10 years of atomic64_t existence the various types used by the
     APIs only had to be self-consistent within each architecture -
     which means they became wildly inconsistent across architectures.
     Mark puts and end to this by reworking all the atomic64
     implementations to use 's64' as the base type for atomic64_t, and
     to ensure that this type is consistently used for parameters and
     return values in the API, avoiding further problems in this area.

   - A large set of small improvements to lockdep by Yuyang Du: type
     cleanups, output cleanups, function return type and othr cleanups
     all around the place.

   - A set of percpu ops cleanups and fixes by Peter Zijlstra.

   - Misc other changes - please see the Git log for more details"

<title>locking/lockdep: Rename lockdep_assert_held_exclusive() -&gt; lockdep_assert_held_write()</title>

All callers of lockdep_assert_held_exclusive() use it to verify the
correct locking state of either a semaphore (ldisc_sem in tty,
mmap_sem for perf events, i_rwsem of inode for dax) or rwlock by
apparmor. Thus it makes sense to rename _exclusive to _write since
that's the semantics callers care. Additionally there is already
lockdep_assert_held_read(), which this new naming is more consistent with.

No functional changes.

When inserting entry into xarray, we store mapping and index in
corresponding struct pages for memory error handling. When it happened
that one process was mapping file at PMD granularity while another
process at PTE granularity, we could wrongly deassociate PMD range and
then reassociate PTE range leaving the rest of struct pages in PMD range
without mapping information which could later cause missed notifications
about memory errors. Fix the problem by calling the association /
deassociation code if and only if we are really going to update the
xarray (deassociating and associating zero or empty entries is just
no-op so there's no reason to complicate the code with trying to avoid
the calls for these cases).
