Linus Torvalds 4ceb5db975 Fix get_user_pages() race for write access ... There's no real guarantee that handle_mm_fault() will always be able to break a COW situation - if an update from another thread ends up modifying the page table some way, handle_mm_fault() may end up requiring us to re-try the operation. That's normally fine, but get_user_pages() ended up re-trying it as a read, and thus a write access could in theory end up losing the dirty bit or be done on a page that had not been properly COW'ed. This makes get_user_pages() always retry write accesses as write accesses by making "follow_page()" require that a writable follow has the dirty bit set. That simplifies the code and solves the race: if the COW break fails for some reason, we'll just loop around and try again.
