Dan Williams 7787380336 net_dma: mark broken
net_dma can cause data to be copied to a stale mapping if a
copy-on-write fault occurs during dma.  The application sees missing
data.

The following trace is triggered by modifying the kernel to WARN if it
ever triggers copy-on-write on a page that is undergoing dma:

 WARNING: CPU: 24 PID: 2529 at lib/dma-debug.c:485 debug_dma_assert_idle+0xd2/0x120()

...the problem is that the receive path falls back to cpu-copy in
several locations and this trace is just one of the areas.  A few
options were considered to fix this:

1/ sync all dma whenever a cpu copy branch is taken

2/ modify the page fault handler to hold off while dma is in-flight

Option 1 adds yet more cpu overhead to an "offload" that struggles to compete
with cpu-copy.  Option 2 adds checks for behavior that is already documented as
broken when using get_user_pages().  At a minimum a debug mode is warranted to
catch and flag these violations of the dma-api vs get_user_pages().

Thanks to David for his reproducer.
