[RFC v3 02/17] mm: Prepare for FAULT_FLAG_SPECULATIVE

From: Laurent Dufour
Date: Thu Apr 27 2017 - 11:57:47 EST


From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

When speculating faults (without holding mmap_sem) we need to validate
that the vma against which we loaded pages is still valid when we're
ready to install the new PTE.

Therefore, replace the pte_offset_map_lock() calls that (re)take the
PTL with pte_map_lock() which can fail in case we find the VMA changed
since we started the fault.

Instead of passing around the endless list of function arguments,
replace the lot with a single structure so we can change context
without endless function signature changes.
