Enable handle_userfault to operate under VMA lock by releasing VMA lock
instead of mmap_lock and retrying. Note that FAULT_FLAG_RETRY_NOWAIT
should never be used when handling faults under per-VMA lock protection
because that would break the assumption that lock is dropped on retry.

Maybe the sanitize_fault_flags() changes suite more in patch 3, but not a
big deal I guess.

Acked-by: Peter Xu <peterx@redhat.com>

Thanks!

IIUC FAULT_FLAG_RETRY_NOWAIT comes into play in this patchset only in
the context of uffds, therefore that check seems to be needed when we
enable per-VMA lock uffd support, which is this patch. Does that make
sense?

I don't see why uffd is special in this regard, as e.g. swap also checks
NOWAIT when folio_lock_or_retry() so I assume it's also used there.

IMHO the "NOWAIT should never apply with VMA_LOCK so far" assumption starts
from patch 3 where it conditionally releases the vma lock when
!(RETRY|COMPLETE); that is the real place where it can start to go wrong if
anyone breaks the assumption.

Thanks,

Um, yes, you are right as usual. It was clear to me from the code that
NOWAIT is not used with swap under VMA_LOCK, that's why I didn't
consider this check earlier. Yeah, patch 3 seems like a more
appropriate place for it. I'll move it and post a new patchset later
today or tomorrow morning with your Acks.
Thanks,
Suren.
