From: Davidlohr Bueso Date: Mon, 22 Jan 2018 17:21:37 +0000 (-0800) Subject: ia64/err-inject: Use get_user_pages_fast() X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=87bcb00aa934e6e48d462dc32e82995d208a7a24;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git ia64/err-inject: Use get_user_pages_fast() [ Upstream commit 69c907022a7d9325cdc5c9dd064571e445df9a47 ] At the point of sysfs callback, the call to gup is done without mmap_sem (or any lock for that matter). This is racy. As such, use the get_user_pages_fast() alternative and safely avoid taking the lock, if possible.
