Subject: get_user_pages: don't try to follow PFNMAP pages
X-Git-Tag: v3.12-rc1~39001^2~121
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1ff8038988adecfde71d82c0597727fc239d4e8c;p=kernel%2Fkernel-generic.git

get_user_pages: don't try to follow PFNMAP pages

Nick Piggin points out that a few drivers play games with VM_IO (why?
who knows..) and thus a pfn-remapped area may not have that bit set even
if remap_pfn_range() set it originally.

So make it explicit in get_user_pages() that we don't follow VM_PFNMAP
pages, since pretty much by definition they do not have a "struct page"
associated with them.
