The patch noted in the fixes below converted get_user_pages_fast() to
get_user_pages_longterm(), however the two calls differ in a few ways.
First _fast() is documented to not require the mmap_sem, while _longterm()
is documented to need it. Hold the mmap sem as required.
Second, _fast accepts an 'int write' while _longterm uses 'unsigned int
gup_flags', so the expression '!!(prot & IOMMU_WRITE)' is only working by
luck as FOLL_WRITE is currently == 0x1. Use the expected FOLL_WRITE
constant instead.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
