[PATCH] mm: honor FOLL_GET flag in follow_hugetlb_page v2

From: j . glisse
Date: Tue May 07 2013 - 19:02:16 EST


From: Jerome Glisse <jglisse@xxxxxxxxxx>

Do not increase page count if FOLL_GET is not set. None of the
current user can trigger the issue because none of the current
user call __get_user_pages with both the pages array ptr non
NULL and the FOLL_GET flags non set in other word all caller
of __get_user_pages that don't set the FOLL_GET flags also call
with pages == NULL.

v2: Do not use get_page_foll. Improved comment.
