mm: add follow_pte_pmd()
Patch series "Write protect DAX PMDs in *sync path". Currently dax_mapping_entry_mkclean() fails to clean and write protect the pmd_t of a DAX PMD entry during an *sync operation. This can result in data loss, as detailed in patch 2. This series is based on Dan's "libnvdimm-pending" branch, which is the current home for Jan's "dax: Page invalidation fixes" series. You can find a working tree here: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/zwisler/linux.git/log/?h=dax_pmd_clean This patch (of 2): Similar to follow_pte(), follow_pte_pmd() allows either a PTE leaf or a huge page PMD leaf to be found and returned.
