To: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Cc: linux-btrfs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, Andreas Gruenbacher <agruenba@xxxxxxxxxx>, Anand Jain <anand.jain@xxxxxxxxxx>
Message-ID: <2ee1e383ae1cca975426b54ab251257f6d4e12c0.1649951733.git.anand.jain@xxxxxxxxxx>
From: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruenba@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 55b8fe703bc51200d4698596c90813453b35ae63 upstream
Introduce a new FOLL_NOFAULT flag that causes get_user_pages to return
-EFAULT when it would otherwise trigger a page fault. This is roughly
similar to FOLL_FAST_ONLY but available on all architectures, and less
fragile.
