4.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Ross Zwisler <ross.zwis...@linux.intel.com> commit cca32b7eeb4ea24fa6596650e06279ad9130af98 upstream. Currently when doing a DAX hole punch with ext4 we fail to do a writeback. This is because the logic around filemap_write_and_wait_range() in ext4_punch_hole() only looks for dirty page cache pages in the radix tree, not for dirty DAX exceptional entries.
