PMD faults on a zero length file on a file system mounted with -o dax
will not generate SIGBUS as expected.
fd = open(...O_TRUNC);
addr = mmap(NULL, 2*1024*1024, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
*addr = 'a';
<expect SIGBUS>
The problem is this code in dax_iomap_pmd_fault:
max_pgoff = (i_size_read(inode) - 1) >> PAGE_SHIFT;
If the inode size is zero, we end up with a max_pgoff that is way larger
than 0. :) Fix it by using DIV_ROUND_UP, as is done elsewhere in the
kernel.
I tested this with some simple test code that ensured that SIGBUS was
received where expected.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
