Merge tag 'gfs2-v5.15-rc5-mmap-fault' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gfs2/linux-gfs2

Pull gfs2 mmap + page fault deadlocks fixes from Andreas Gruenbacher:
 "Functions gfs2_file_read_iter and gfs2_file_write_iter are both
  accessing the user buffer to write to or read from while holding the
  inode glock.

  In the most basic deadlock scenario, that buffer will not be resident
  and it will be mapped to the same file. Accessing the buffer will
  trigger a page fault, and gfs2 will deadlock trying to take the same
  inode glock again while trying to handle that fault.

  Fix that and similar, more complex scenarios by disabling page faults
  while accessing user buffers. To make this work, introduce a small
  amount of new infrastructure and fix some bugs that didn't trigger so
  far, with page faults enabled"
