The patch titled

has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

Subject: mm: fix device-dax pud write-faults triggered by get_user_pages()
Currently only get_user_pages_fast() can safely handle the writable gup
case due to its use of pud_access_permitted() to check whether the pud
entry is writable. In the gup slow path pud_write() is used instead of
pud_access_permitted() and to date it has been unimplemented, just calls
BUG_ON().
kernel BUG at ./include/linux/hugetlb.h:244!

For now this just implements a simple check for the _PAGE_RW bit similar
to pmd_write. However, this implies that the gup-slow-path check is
missing the extra checks that the gup-fast-path performs with
pud_access_permitted. Later patches will align all checks to use the
'access_permitted' helper if the architecture provides it. Note that the
generic 'access_permitted' helper fallback is the simple _PAGE_RW check on
architectures that do not define the 'access_permitted' helper(s).
