[PATCH 16/31] x86, mm: simplify get_user_pages() PTE bit handling

From: Dave Hansen
Date: Wed Jan 06 2016 - 19:06:12 EST



From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The current get_user_pages() code is a wee bit more complicated
than it needs to be for pte bit checking. Currently, it establishes
a mask of required pte _PAGE_* bits and ensures that the pte it
goes after has all those bits.

This consolidates the three identical copies of this code.
