[RFC v4 16/20] mm/spf: Don't call user fault callback in the speculative path

From: Laurent Dufour
Date: Fri Jun 09 2017 - 10:23:27 EST


The handle_userfault() function assumes that the mmap_sem is held
which is not true in the case of a speculative page fault handling.

When doing a speculative page fault, lets retry it in the usual path
to call handle_userfault().
