That's why after the initial failure, we must keep trying until we hit
the actual point of failure independent of alignment. If there's even a
single writable byte left, fault_in_writable() won't fail and we'll be
stuck in a loop.

On the other hand, once we've reached the actual point of failure, the
existing version of fault_in_writeable() will work for sub-page faults
as well.

That doesn't make sense; we don't want fault_in_writable() to fail or
succeed depending on the alignment of the address range passed to it.

Have a look at the below code to see what I mean. Function
copy_to_user_nofault_unaligned() should be further optimized, maybe as
mm/maccess.c:copy_from_kernel_nofault() and/or per architecture
depending on the actual alignment rules; I'm not sure.

Thanks,
Andreas
