Revision fb26a1cbed8c90025572d48bc9eabe59f7571e88 authored by Jan Kara on 12 May 2017, 22:46:54 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 12 May 2017, 22:57:16 UTC
DAX will return to locking exceptional entry before mapping blocks for a
page fault to fix possible races with concurrent writes.  To avoid lock
inversion between exceptional entry lock and transaction start, start
the transaction already in ext4_dax_huge_fault().
