-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.
