[PATCH] mm: tighten fault_in_pages_writeable()

From: Eric Dumazet
Date: Tue Apr 26 2016 - 16:59:19 EST


From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>

copy_page_to_iter_iovec() is currently the only user of
fault_in_pages_writeable(), and it definitely can use fragments
from high order pages.

Make sure fault_in_pages_writeable() is only touching two
adjacent pages at most, as claimed.
