Too much duplication. How about putting the tail end of the function in a common helper (with an inatomic flag)?

btw, is_hwpoison_address() is racy. While it looks up the address, some other task can unmap the page tables under us.

Andi/Huang?

One way of fixing it is get_user_pages_ptes_fast(), which also returns the pte, also atomically. I want it for other reasons as well (respond to a read fault by gupping the page for read, but allowing write access if the pte indicates it is writeable).
