[PATCH] s390: endless loop in follow_page.
From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Fix endless loop in get_user_pages() on s390. It happens only on s/390 because pte_dirty always returns 0. For all other architectures this is an optimization. In the case of "write && !pte_dirty(pte)" follow_page() returns NULL. On all architectures except s390 handle_pte_fault() will then create a pte with pte_dirty(pte)==1 because write_access==1. In the following, second call to follow_page() all is fine. With the physical dirty bit patch pte_dirty() is always 0 for s/390 because the dirty bit doesn't live in the pte.
