From: Peter Zijlstra <pet...@infradead.org>
Try a speculative fault before acquiring mmap_sem, if it returns with
VM_FAULT_RETRY continue with the mmap_sem acquisition and do the
traditional fault.
Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <pet...@infradead.org>
[Clearing of FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY is now done in
handle_speculative_fault()]
[Retry with usual fault path in the case VM_ERROR is returned by
handle_speculative_fault(). This allows signal to be delivered]
[Don't build SPF call if !CONFIG_SPF]
