+/*
+ * fixup_user_fault() - manually resolve a user page fault
+ * @tsk:	the task_struct to use for page fault accounting, or
+ *		NULL if faults are not to be recorded.
+ * @mm:		mm_struct of target mm
+ * @address:	user address
+ * @fault_flags:flags to pass down to handle_mm_fault()
+ *
+ * This is meant to be called in the specific scenario where for locking reasons
+ * we try to access user memory in atomic context (within a pagefault_disable()
+ * section), this returns -EFAULT, and we want to resolve the user fault before
+ * trying again.
+ *
+ * Typically this is meant to be used by the futex code.
+ *
+ * The main difference with get_user_pages() is that this function will
+ * unconditionally call handle_mm_fault() which will in turn perform all the
+ * necessary SW fixup of the dirty and young bits in the PTE, while
+ * handle_mm_fault() only guarantees to update these in the struct page.
+ *
+ * This is important for some architectures where those bits also gate the
+ * access permission to the page because they are maintained in software.  On
+ * such architectures, gup() will not be enough to make a subsequent access
+ * succeed.
+ *
+ * This should be called with the mm_sem held for read.
