[PATCH 15/31] mm: factor out VMA fault permission checking

From: Dave Hansen
Date: Fri Jan 29 2016 - 13:23:59 EST



From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This code matches a fault condition up with the VMA and ensures
that the VMA allows the fault to be handled instead of just
erroring out.

We will be extending this in a moment to comprehend protection
keys.
