Subject[PATCH] dax: Split pmd map when fallback on COW
Date
An infinite loop of PMD faults was observed when attempted to
mlock() a private read-only PMD mmap'd range of a DAX file.

__dax_pmd_fault() simply returns with VM_FAULT_FALLBACK when
falling back to PTE on COW. However, __handle_mm_fault()
returns without falling back to handle_pte_fault() because
a PMD map is present in this case.

Change __dax_pmd_fault() to split the PMD map, if present,
before returning with VM_FAULT_FALLBACK.
