[Devel] [PATCH vz8 14/42] userfaultfd: don't retake mmap_sem to emulate NOPAGE

[Andrey Ryabinin]

From: Peter Xu <peterx at redhat.com>

This patch removes the risk path in handle_userfault() then we will be
sure that the callers of handle_mm_fault() will know that the VMAs might
have changed.  Meanwhile with previous patch we don't lose responsiveness
as well since the core mm code now can handle the nonfatal userspace
signals even if we return VM_FAULT_RETRY.
