Changes since v2 [1]: * Switch from the "#define __HAVE_ARCH_PUD_WRITE" to "#define pud_write". This incidentally fixes a powerpc compile error. (Stephen)
* Add a cleanup patch to align pmd_write to the pud_write definition scheme.

Andrew,
Here is another attempt at the pud_write() fix [2], and some follow-on patches to use the '_access_permitted' helpers in fault and get_user_pages() paths where we are checking if the thread has access to write. I explicitly omit conversions for places where the kernel is checking the _PAGE_RW flag for kernel purposes, not for userspace access.
Beyond fixing the crash, this series also fixes get_user_pages() and fault paths to honor protection keys in the same manner as get_user_pages_fast(). Only the crash fix is tagged for -stable as the protection key check is done just for consistency reasons since userspace can change protection keys at will.
These have received a build success notification from the 0day robot.
