Commitca5e863233("mm/gup: remove vmas parameter from get_user_pages_remote()") removed the vma argument from GUP handling, and instead added a helper function (get_user_page_vma_remote()) that looks it up separately using 'vma_lookup()'. And then converted existing users that needed a vma to use the helper instead. However, the helper function intentionally acts exactly like the old get_user_pages_remote() did, and only fills in 'vma' on successful page lookup. Fine so far. However, __access_remote_vm() wants the vma even for the unsuccessful case, and used to do a vma = vma_lookup(mm, addr); explicitly to look it up when the get_user_page() failed. However, that conversion commit incorrectly removed that vma lookup, thinking that get_user_page_vma_remote() would have done it. Not so. So add the vma_lookup() back in.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
