Dan Williams ef947b2529 x86, mm: fix gup_pte_range() vs DAX mappings
gup_pte_range() fails to check pte_allows_gup() before translating a DAX
pte entry, pte_devmap(), to a page.  This allows writes to read-only
mappings, and bypasses the DAX cacheline dirty tracking due to missed
'mkwrite' faults.  The gup_huge_pmd() path and the gup_huge_pud() path
correctly check pte_allows_gup() before checking for _devmap() entries.

Fixes: 3565fce3a6 ("mm, x86: get_user_pages() for dax mappings")

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

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.
