Did this issue start happening after an update/upgrade? Was there a
prior kernel version where you were not having this particular problem?
If it is a regression, we can perform a kernel bisect to narrow down
which commit introduced it.
Also, it might be good to test the latest mainline kernel to see if this
bug was already fixed upstream. If it was, can investigate to find the
commit that fixes the bug.

Title:
mprotect fails on ext4 with dax

Status in pmdk package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
I have a file located on ext4 mounted with "dax". When I call mmap on that
file with protection flag different than PROT_NONE and pass the returned
address to mprotect(..., PROT_NONE) it fails with:
mprotect: Permission denied
This bug affects PMDK (https://github.com/pmem/pmdk) and seems to be Ubuntu
kernel-specific.
Problem was observer on kernel 4.15.0-36-generic and 4.15.0-34-generic
Below is a code which can be used to reproduce the issue.
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
if (argc < 3) {
fprintf(stderr, "usage %s file size\n",
argv[0]);
return 1;
}
int size = atoi(argv[2]);
int fd = open(argv[1], O_RDWR);
if (fd < 0) {
perror("open");
return 1;
}
void *addr = mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
if (addr == MAP_FAILED) {
perror("mmap");
return 1;
}
if(mprotect(addr, size, PROT_NONE)) {
perror("mprotect");
return 1;
}
return 0;
}
