[PATCH v2 02/10] arm64: uaccess s/might_sleep/might_fault/

From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@redhat.com>
Date: 2013-05-16 11:11:57
Also in: kvm, linux-arch, linux-arm-kernel, linux-mm, lkml
Subsystem: arm64 port (aarch64 architecture), the rest · Maintainers: Catalin Marinas, Will Deacon, Linus Torvalds

The only reason uaccess routines might sleep
is if they fault. Make this explicit.
