From: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <[email protected]>
get_user_pages may well call handle_mm_fault on present and valid PTEs. Signal
that by using VM_MAYREAD in the access_mask.
Also, get_user_pages() may give write faults on present readonly PTEs in
VM_NONUNIFORM areas (think of PTRACE_POKETEXT), so we must still do do_wp_page
even on VM_NONUNIFORM areas.
So, possibly use VM_MAYWRITE in the access_mask and check VM_NONUNIFORM in
maybe_mkwrite_file (new variant of maybe_mkwrite).
