+Subject: [PATCH 01/11] mm: remove gup_flags FOLL_WRITE games from
+ __get_user_pages()
+
+This is an ancient bug that was actually already fixed once (badly) by
+me eleven years ago in commit 4ceb5db9757a ("Fix get_user_pages() race
+for write access") but that was then undone due to problems on s390 by
+commit f33ea7f404e5 ("fix get_user_pages bug").
+
+In the meantime, the s390 situation has long been fixed, and we can once
+more try to fix it by checking the pte_dirty() bit properly (and do it
+better).  We introduce a new internal FOLL_COW flag to mark the "yes, we
+already did a COW" rather than play racy games with FOLL_WRITE that is
+very fundamental.
