    x86/mm/pkeys: Pass VMA down in to fault signal generation code · 7b2d0dba

    During a page fault, we look up the VMA to ensure that the fault
    is in a region with a valid mapping.  But, in the top-level page
    fault code we don't need the VMA for much else.  Once we have
    decided that an access is bad, we are going to send a signal no
    matter what and do not need the VMA any more.  So we do not pass
    it down in to the signal generation code.
    
    But, for protection keys, we need the VMA.  It tells us *which*
    protection key we violated if we get a PF_PK.  So, we need to
    pass the VMA down and fill in siginfo->si_pkey.
