From: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: gup: avoid multiple user access locking/unlocking in fault_in_{read/write}able fault_in_readable() and fault_in_writeable() perform __get_user() and __put_user() in a loop, implying multiple user access locking/unlocking. To avoid that, use user access blocks.
