Ingo Molnar 6dd29b3df9 Revert "x86/mm/gup: Switch GUP to the generic get_user_page_fast() implementation" ... This reverts commit 2947ba054a. Dan Williams reported dax-pmem kernel warnings with the following signature: WARNING: CPU: 8 PID: 245 at lib/percpu-refcount.c:155 percpu_ref_switch_to_atomic_rcu+0x1f5/0x200 percpu ref (dax_pmem_percpu_release [dax_pmem]) <= 0 (0) after switching to atomic ... and bisected it to this commit, which suggests possible memory corruption caused by the x86 fast-GUP conversion. He also pointed out: " This is similar to the backtrace when we were not properly handling pud faults and was fixed with this commit: 220ced1676 "mm: fix get_user_pages() vs device-dax pud mappings" I've found some missing _devmap checks in the generic get_user_pages_fast() path, but this does not fix the regression [...] " So given that there are known bugs, and a pretty robust looking bisection points to this commit suggesting that are unknown bugs in the conversion as well, revert it for the time being - we'll re-try in v4.13.
