    Remove internal use of 'write_access' in mm/memory.c · 30c9f3a9
    Linus Torvalds authored
    The fault handling routines really want more fine-grained flags than a
    single "was it a write fault" boolean - the callers will want to set
    flags like "you can return a retry error" etc.
    
    And that's actually how the VM works internally, but right now the
    top-level fault handling functions in mm/memory.c all pass just the
    'write_access' boolean around.
    
    This switches them over to pass around the FAULT_FLAG_xyzzy 'flags'
    variable instead.  The 'write_access' calling convention still exists
    for the exported 'handle_mm_fault()' function, but that is next.
