From 01a33b4ace68bc35679a347f21d5ed6e222e30dc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthew Wilcox Date: Tue, 8 Sep 2015 14:59:22 -0700 Subject: ext4: start transaction before calling into DAX Jan Kara pointed out that in the case where we are writing to a hole, we can end up with a lock inversion between the page lock and the journal lock. We can avoid this by starting the transaction in ext4 before calling into DAX. The journal lock nests inside the superblock pagefault lock, so we have to duplicate that code from dax_fault, like XFS does.
