Subject[PATCH v11 07/26] mm: make pte_unmap_same compatible with SPF
Date
pte_unmap_same() is making the assumption that the page table are still
around because the mmap_sem is held.
This is no more the case when running a speculative page fault and
additional check must be made to ensure that the final page table are still
there.

This is now done by calling pte_spinlock() to check for the VMA's
consistency while locking for the page tables.

This is requiring passing a vm_fault structure to pte_unmap_same() which is
containing all the needed parameters.

As pte_spinlock() may fail in the case of a speculative page fault, if the
VMA has been touched in our back, pte_unmap_same() should now return 3
cases :
1. pte are the same (0)
2. pte are different (VM_FAULT_PTNOTSAME)
3. a VMA's changes has been detected (VM_FAULT_RETRY)

The case 2 is handled by the introduction of a new VM_FAULT flag named
VM_FAULT_PTNOTSAME which is then trapped in cow_user_page().
If VM_FAULT_RETRY is returned, it is passed up to the callers to retry the
page fault while holding the mmap_sem.
