Subject: [PATCH 3.16 016/204] s390/mm: fix write access check in
 gup_huge_pmd()

3.16.52-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Gerald Schaefer <gerald.schaefer@...ibm.com>

commit ba385c0594e723d41790ecfb12c610e6f90c7785 upstream.

The check for the _SEGMENT_ENTRY_PROTECT bit in gup_huge_pmd() is the
wrong way around. It must not be set for write==1, and not be checked for
write==0. Fix this similar to how it was fixed for ptes long time ago in
commit 25591b070336 ("[S390] fix get_user_pages_fast").

One impact of this bug would be unnecessarily using the gup slow path for
write==0 on r/w mappings. A potentially more severe impact would be that
gup_huge_pmd() will succeed for write==1 on r/o mappings.
