Subject: [PATCH] ia64/err-inject: Use get_user_pages_fast()
Date:   Mon, 22 Jan 2018 09:21:37 -0800
Message-Id: <20180122172137.26849-1-dave@stgolabs.net>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

At the point of sysfs callback, the call to gup is
done without mmap_sem (or any lock for that matter).
This is racy. As such, use the get_user_pages_fast()
alternative and safely avoid taking the lock, if possible.
