Commitc33c794828("mm: ptep_get() conversion") converted all (non-arch) call sites to use ptep_get() instead of doing a direct dereference of the pte. Full rationale can be found in that commit's log. Since then, UFFDIO_MOVE has been implemented which does 7 direct pte dereferences. Let's fix those up to use ptep_get(). I've asserted in the past that there is no reliable automated mechanism to catch these; I'm relying on a combination of Coccinelle (which throws up a lot of false positives) and some compiler magic to force a compiler error on dereference. But given the frequency with which new issues are coming up, I'll add it to my todo list to try to find an automated solution.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
