    mm: fix device-dax pud write-faults triggered by get_user_pages() · 1501899a
    Dan Williams authored
    Currently only get_user_pages_fast() can safely handle the writable gup
    case due to its use of pud_access_permitted() to check whether the pud
    entry is writable.  In the gup slow path pud_write() is used instead of
    pud_access_permitted() and to date it has been unimplemented, just calls
    BUG_ON().

    For now this just implements a simple check for the _PAGE_RW bit similar
    to pmd_write.  However, this implies that the gup-slow-path check is
    missing the extra checks that the gup-fast-path performs with
    pud_access_permitted.  Later patches will align all checks to use the
    'access_permitted' helper if the architecture provides it.
    
    Note that the generic 'access_permitted' helper fallback is the simple
    _PAGE_RW check on architectures that do not define the
    'access_permitted' helper(s).
