Subject: mm/gup: fix follow_devmap_p[mu]d() on page==NULL handling
Date: Thu, 23 Nov 2023 13:02:22 -0500

This is a bug found not by any report but only by code observations.

When GUP sees a devpmd/devpud and if page==NULL is returned, it means a
fault is probably required.  Here falling through when page==NULL can
cause unexpected behavior.

Fix both cases by catching the page==NULL cases with no_page_table().

Fixes: 3565fce3a659 ("mm, x86: get_user_pages() for dax mappings")
Fixes: 080dbb618b4b ("mm/follow_page_mask: split follow_page_mask to smaller functions.")
