[PATCH 0/4] fix device-dax pud crash and fixup {pte,pmd,pud}_write

[Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>]

Andrew,

Here is a new version to the pud_write() fix [1], and some follow-on
patches to use the '_access_permitted' helpers in fault and
get_user_pages() paths where we are checking if the thread has access to
write. I explicitly omit conversions for places where the kernel is
checking the _PAGE_RW flag for kernel purposes, not for userspace
access.

Beyond fixing the crash, this series also fixes get_user_pages() and
fault paths to honor protection keys in the same manner as
get_user_pages_fast(). Only the crash fix is tagged for -stable as the
protection key check is done just for consistency reasons since
userspace can change protection keys at will.
