Linus Torvalds 7f81890687 x86: don't use 'access_ok()' as a range check in get_user_pages_fast()
It's really not right to use 'access_ok()', since that is meant for the
normal "get_user()" and "copy_from/to_user()" accesses, which are done
through the TLB, rather than through the page tables.

Why? access_ok() does both too few, and too many checks.  Too many,
because it is meant for regular kernel accesses that will not honor the
'user' bit in the page tables, and because it honors the USER_DS vs
KERNEL_DS distinction that we shouldn't care about in GUP.  And too few,
because it doesn't do the 'canonical' check on the address on x86-64,
since the TLB will do that for us.

So instead of using a function that isn't meant for this, and does
something else and much more complicated, just do the real rules: we
don't want the range to overflow, and on x86-64, we want it to be a
canonical low address (on 32-bit, all addresses are canonical).

* With get_user_pages_fast, we walk down the pagetables without taking
* any locks. For this we would like to load the pointers atoimcally,
* but that is not possible (without expensive cmpxchg8b) on PAE. What
* we do have is the guarantee that a pte will only either go from not
* present to present, or present to not present or both -- it will not
* switch to a completely different present page without a TLB flush in
* between; something that we are blocking by holding interrupts off.
*
* Setting ptes from not present to present goes:
* ptep->pte_high = h;
* smp_wmb();
* ptep->pte_low = l;
*
* And present to not present goes:
* ptep->pte_low = 0;
* smp_wmb();
* ptep->pte_high = 0;
*
* We must ensure here that the load of pte_low sees l iff pte_high
* sees h. We load pte_high *after* loading pte_low, which ensures we
* don't see an older value of pte_high. *Then* we recheck pte_low,
* which ensures that we haven't picked up a changed pte high. We might
* have got rubbish values from pte_low and pte_high, but we are
* guaranteed that pte_low will not have the present bit set *unless*
* it is 'l'. And get_user_pages_fast only operates on present ptes, so
* we're safe.
*
* gup_get_pte should not be used or copied outside gup.c without being
* very careful -- it does not atomically load the pte or anything that
* is likely to be useful for you.
