Do not increase page count if FOLL_GET is not set. None of the
current user can trigger the issue because none of the current
user call __get_user_pages with both the pages array ptr non
NULL and the FOLL_GET flags non set in other word all caller
of __get_user_pages that don't set the FOLL_GET flags also call
with pages == NULL.
v2: Do not use get_page_foll. Improved comment.

Because, __get_user_pages() doesn't allow pages==NULL and FOLL_GET is on.
long __get_user_pages(struct task_struct *tsk, struct mm_struct *mm,
{
(snip)
VM_BUG_ON(!!pages != !!(gup_flags & FOLL_GET));

Yes but this allow pages != NULL and FOLL_GET not set and as i said
there is no such user of that yet and this is exactly what i was
trying to use.

Why? The following bug_on inhibit both case.

Yes i get lost on the double negation, but still my patch is correct
and i am not using gup but follow_hugetlb_page directly and i run into
the issue. My patch does not change the behavior for current user,
just fix assumption new user might have when not setting the FOLL_GET
flags.

I have no idea. I haven't seen your new use case.
