Subject: [PATCH 2/2] mm/hmm: hmm_range_fault() infinite loop

Normally, callers to handle_mm_fault() are supposed to check the
vma->vm_flags first. hmm_range_fault() checks for VM_READ but doesn't
check for VM_WRITE if the caller requests a page to be faulted in
with write permission (via the hmm_range.pfns[] value).
If the vma is write protected, this can result in an infinite loop:
  hmm_range_fault()
    walk_page_range()
      ...
      hmm_vma_walk_hole()
        hmm_vma_walk_hole_()
          hmm_vma_do_fault()
            handle_mm_fault(FAULT_FLAG_WRITE)
            /* returns VM_FAULT_WRITE */
          /* returns -EBUSY */
        /* returns -EBUSY */
      /* returns -EBUSY */
    /* loops on -EBUSY and range->valid */
Prevent this by checking for vma->vm_flags & VM_WRITE before calling
handle_mm_fault().
