[PATCH v2 1/2] mm: Use READ_ONCE() for non-scalar types

From: Jason Low
Date: Tue Mar 24 2015 - 18:30:17 EST


Commit 38c5ce936a08 ("mm/gup: Replace ACCESS_ONCE with READ_ONCE")
converted ACCESS_ONCE usage in gup_pmd_range() to READ_ONCE, since
ACCESS_ONCE doesn't work reliably on non-scalar types.

This patch also fixes the other ACCESS_ONCE usages in gup_pte_range()
and __get_user_pages_fast() in mm/gup.c
