This problem is found in meego testing: http://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6672 A file in btrfs is mmaped and the mmaped buffer is passed to pwrite to write to the same page of the same file. In btrfs_file_aio_write(), the pages is locked by prepare_pages(). So when btrfs_copy_from_user() is called, page fault happens and the same page needs to be locked again in filemap_fault(). The fix is to move iov_iter_fault_in_readable() before prepage_pages() to make page fault happen before pages are locked. And also disable page fault in critical region in btrfs_copy_from_user().

Btrfs is a new filesystem with extents, writable snapshotting,
support for multiple devices and many more features.
Btrfs is highly experimental, and THE DISK FORMAT IS NOT YET
FINALIZED. You should say N here unless you are interested in
testing Btrfs with non-critical data.
To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here. The
module will be called btrfs.
If unsure, say N.

POSIX Access Control Lists (ACLs) support permissions for users and
groups beyond the owner/group/world scheme.
To learn more about Access Control Lists, visit the POSIX ACLs for
Linux website <http://acl.bestbits.at/>.
