This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: 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: 3565fce3a659 ("mm, x86: get_user_pages() for dax mappings")
