When the buffer passed to a read or write system call is memory mapped to the same file, a page fault can occur in gfs2_fault. In that case, the task will already be holding the inode glock, and trying to take it again will result in a BUG in add_to_queue(). Fix that by recognizing the self-recursion case and either skipping the lock taking (when the glock is held in a compatible way), or fail the operation.
Likewise, a request to un-share a copy-on-write page can *probably* happen in similar situations, so treat the locking in gfs2_page_mkwrite in the same way.
A future patch will handle this case more gracefully, along with addressing more complex deadlock scenarios.
