[PATCH 15/29] mm: implement speculative handling in __handle_mm_fault().

From: Michel Lespinasse
Date: Fri Apr 30 2021 - 15:53:30 EST


The speculative path calls speculative_page_walk_begin() before walking
the page table tree to prevent page table reclamation. The logic is
otherwise similar to the non-speculative path, but with additional
restrictions: in the speculative path, we do not handle huge pages or
wiring new pages tables.
