[PATCH v2 4/4] mm: replace pte_write with pte_access_permitted in fault + gup paths

From: Dan Williams
Date: Sat Nov 11 2017 - 15:20:19 EST


The 'access_permitted' helper is used in the gup-fast path and goes
beyond the simple _PAGE_RW check to also:

* validate that the mapping is writable from a protection keys
standpoint

* validate that the pte has _PAGE_USER set since all fault paths where
pte_write is must be referencing user-memory.
