+Subject: [PATCH] mm: remove gup_flags FOLL_WRITE games from __get_user_pages()
+
+commit 19be0eaffa3ac7d8eb6784ad9bdbc7d67ed8e619 upstream.
+
+This is an ancient bug that was actually attempted to be fixed once
+(badly) by me eleven years ago in commit 4ceb5db9757a ("Fix
+get_user_pages() race for write access") but that was then undone due to
+problems on s390 by commit f33ea7f404e5 ("fix get_user_pages bug").
+
+In the meantime, the s390 situation has long been fixed, and we can now
+fix it by checking the pte_dirty() bit properly (and do it better).  The
+s390 dirty bit was implemented in abf09bed3cce ("s390/mm: implement
+software dirty bits") which made it into v3.9.  Earlier kernels will
+have to look at the page state itself.
+
+Also, the VM has become more scalable, and what used a purely
+theoretical race back then has become easier to trigger.
+
+To fix it, we introduce a new internal FOLL_COW flag to mark the "yes,
+we already did a COW" rather than play racy games with FOLL_WRITE that
+is very fundamental, and then use the pte dirty flag to validate that
+the FOLL_COW flag is still valid.
