Merge branch 'gup_flag-cleanups'
Merge the gup_flags cleanups from Lorenzo Stoakes:
"This patch series adjusts functions in the get_user_pages* family such
that desired FOLL_* flags are passed as an argument rather than
implied by flags.
The purpose of this change is to make the use of FOLL_FORCE explicit
so it is easier to grep for and clearer to callers that this flag is
being used. The use of FOLL_FORCE is an issue as it overrides missing
VM_READ/VM_WRITE flags for the VMA whose pages we are reading
from/writing to, which can result in surprising behaviour.
The patch series came out of the discussion around commit 38e088546522
("mm: check VMA flags to avoid invalid PROT_NONE NUMA balancing"),
which addressed a BUG_ON() being triggered when a page was faulted in
with PROT_NONE set but having been overridden by FOLL_FORCE.
do_numa_page() was run on the assumption the page _must_ be one marked
for NUMA node migration as an actual PROT_NONE page would have been
dealt with prior to this code path, however FOLL_FORCE introduced a
situation where this assumption did not hold.
See
https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=147585445805166
for the patch proposal"
Additionally, there's a fix for an ancient bug related to FOLL_FORCE and
FOLL_WRITE by me.
[ This branch was rebased recently to add a few more acked-by's and
reviewed-by's ]
