[1/7] mm: infrastructure for page fault page caching

Commit Message

Josef Bacik Oct. 18, 2018, 8:23 p.m. UTC

We want to be able to cache the result of a previous loop of a page
fault in the case that we use VM_FAULT_RETRY, so introduce
handle_mm_fault_cacheable that will take a struct vm_fault directly, add
a ->cached_page field to vm_fault, and add helpers to init/cleanup the
struct vm_fault.

I've converted x86, other arch's can follow suit if they so wish, it's
relatively straightforward.
