[PATCH 0/2] Write protect DAX PMDs in *sync path

Show all headers | View raw

Currently dax_mapping_entry_mkclean() fails to clean and write protect the
pmd_t of a DAX PMD entry during an *sync operation.  This can result in
data loss, as detailed in patch 2.

This series is based on Dan's "libnvdimm-pending" branch, which is the
current home for Jan's "dax: Page invalidation fixes" series.  You can find
a working tree here:

Ross Zwisler (2):
  mm: add follow_pte_pmd()
