[PATCH v3 02/20] mm: Prepare for FAULT_FLAG_SPECULATIVE

From: Laurent Dufour
Date: Fri Sep 08 2017 - 14:07:32 EST


From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

When speculating faults (without holding mmap_sem) we need to validate
that the vma against which we loaded pages is still valid when we're
ready to install the new PTE.

Therefore, replace the pte_offset_map_lock() calls that (re)take the
PTL with pte_map_lock() which can fail in case we find the VMA changed
since we started the fault.

Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[Port to 4.12 kernel]
[Remove the comment about the fault_env structure which has been
implemented as the vm_fault structure in the kernel]
