Subject: mips,s390,sh,sparc: gup: Work around the "COW can break either way" issue
X-Git-Tag: v4.19.226~3
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=294c7a9fb608c29a9e49010b515228e20ccbec8f;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Fstable.git

mips,s390,sh,sparc: gup: Work around the "COW can break either way" issue

In Linux 4.14 and 4.19 these architectures still have their own
implementations of get_user_pages_fast().  These also need to force
the write flag on when taking the fast path.

Fixes: 407faed92b4a ("gup: document and work around "COW can break either way" issue")
Fixes: 5e24029791e8 ("gup: document and work around "COW can break either way" issue")
