dax: disable pmd mappings
While dax pmd mappings are functional in the nominal path they trigger kernel crashes in the following paths: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffea0004098000 IP: [<ffffffff812362f7>] follow_trans_huge_pmd+0x117/0x3b0 [..] Call Trace: [<ffffffff811f6573>] follow_page_mask+0x2d3/0x380 [<ffffffff811f6708>] __get_user_pages+0xe8/0x6f0 [<ffffffff811f7045>] get_user_pages_unlocked+0x165/0x1e0 [<ffffffff8106f5b1>] get_user_pages_fast+0xa1/0x1b0 kernel BUG at arch/x86/mm/gup.c:131! [..] Call Trace: [<ffffffff8106f34c>] gup_pud_range+0x1bc/0x220 [<ffffffff8106f634>] get_user_pages_fast+0x124/0x1b0 BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffea0004088000 IP: [<ffffffff81235f49>] copy_huge_pmd+0x159/0x350 [..] Call Trace: [<ffffffff811fad3c>] copy_page_range+0x34c/0x9f0 [<ffffffff810a0daf>] copy_process+0x1b7f/0x1e10 [<ffffffff810a11c1>] _do_fork+0x91/0x590 All of these paths are interpreting a dax pmd mapping as a transparent huge page and making the assumption that the pfn is covered by the memmap, i.e. that the pfn has an associated struct page. PTE mappings do not suffer the same fate since they have the _PAGE_SPECIAL flag to cause the gup path to fault. We can do something similar for the PMD path, or otherwise defer pmd support for cases where a struct page is available. For now, 4.4-rc and -stable need to disable dax pmd support by default. For development the "depends on BROKEN" line can be removed from CONFIG_FS_DAX_PMD.
