Hi Team,

Ref - mm: remove gup_flags FOLL_WRITE games from __get_user_pages()
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=19be0eaffa3ac7d8eb6784ad9bdbc7d67ed8e619

The above issue was recently patched in 4.8 kernel. When are we backporting this to 3.14 ? Can you give us an ETA ?

Regards,
Anup
