Name

fault_in_user_writeable — Fault in user address and verify RW access

Synopsis

int fault_in_user_writeable (u32 __user * uaddr);
 

Arguments

u32 __user * uaddr

pointer to faulting user space address

Description

Slow path to fixup the fault we just took in the atomic write access to uaddr.

We have no generic implementation of a non-destructive write to the user address. We know that we faulted in the atomic pagefault disabled section so we can as well avoid the #PF overhead by calling get_user_pages right away.
