4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Dan Williams <[email protected]> commit ef947b2529f918d9606533eb9c32b187ed6a5ede upstream. gup_pte_range() fails to check pte_allows_gup() before translating a DAX pte entry, pte_devmap(), to a page. This allows writes to read-only mappings, and bypasses the DAX cacheline dirty tracking due to missed 'mkwrite' faults. The gup_huge_pmd() path and the gup_huge_pud() path correctly check pte_allows_gup() before checking for _devmap() entries.
