mm: make fixup_user_fault() check the vma access rights too
commit 1b17844b29ae042576bea588164f2f1e9590a8bc upstream.
fixup_user_fault() is used by the futex code when the direct user access
fails, and the futex code wants it to either map in the page in a usable
form or return an error. It relied on handle_mm_fault() to map the
page, and correctly checked the error return from that, but while that
does map the page, it doesn't actually guarantee that the page will be
mapped with sufficient permissions to be then accessed.
So do the appropriate tests of the vma access rights by hand.
[ Side note: arguably handle_mm_fault() could just do that itself, but
we have traditionally done it in the caller, because some callers -
notably get_user_pages() - have been able to access pages even when
they are mapped with PROT_NONE. Maybe we should re-visit that design
decision, but in the meantime this is the minimal patch. ]
