[PATCH v2 21/35] mm: enable speculative fault handling in do_numa_page()

From: Michel Lespinasse
Date: Fri Jan 28 2022 - 08:20:49 EST


Change handle_pte_fault() to allow speculative fault execution to proceed
through do_numa_page().

do_swap_page() does not implement speculative execution yet, so it
needs to abort with VM_FAULT_RETRY in that case.
