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:

...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.
