Andreas Gruenbacher f86f8d2784 iov_iter: Introduce nofault flag to disable page faults
commit 3337ab08d0 upstream

Introduce a new nofault flag to indicate to iov_iter_get_pages not to
fault in user pages.

This is implemented by passing the FOLL_NOFAULT flag to get_user_pages,
which causes get_user_pages to fail when it would otherwise fault in a
page. We'll use the ->nofault flag to prevent iomap_dio_rw from faulting
in pages when page faults are not allowed.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
