Subject[PATCH 5.15 27/33] gup: Introduce FOLL_NOFAULT flag to disable page faults
Date
From: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruenba@redhat.com>

commit 55b8fe703bc51200d4698596c90813453b35ae63 upstream

Introduce a new FOLL_NOFAULT flag that causes get_user_pages to return
-EFAULT when it would otherwise trigger a page fault. This is roughly
similar to FOLL_FAST_ONLY but available on all architectures, and less
fragile.
