read_user_stack_slow that walks user address translation by hand is only required on hash, because a hash fault can not be serviced from "NMI" context (to avoid re-entering the hash code) so the user stack can be mapped into Linux page tables but not accessible by the CPU. Radix MMU mode does not have this restriction. A page fault failure would indicate the page is not accessible via get_user_pages either, so avoid this on radix.

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.
