When mounting fsdax pmem device, commit6180bb446a("dax: fix detection of dax support for non-persistent memory block devices") introduces the stack overflow [1][2]. Here is the call path for mounting ext4 file system: ext4_fill_super bdev_dax_supported __bdev_dax_supported dax_supported generic_fsdax_supported __generic_fsdax_supported bdev_dax_supported The call path leads to the infinite calling loop, so we cannot call bdev_dax_supported() in __generic_fsdax_supported(). The sanity checking of the variable 'dax_dev' is moved prior to the two bdev_dax_pgoff() checks [3][4].

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
