[to-be-updated] mshv-use-hmm_range_fault_unlocked_timeout-for-region-faults.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mshv: use hmm_range_fault_unlocked_timeout() for region faults
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mshv-use-hmm_range_fault_unlocked_timeout-for-region-faults.patch

This patch was dropped because an updated version will be issued

Subject: mshv: use hmm_range_fault_unlocked_timeout() for region faults
Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2026 14:26:50 -0700

MSHV currently faults movable memory regions by taking mmap_read_lock()
around hmm_range_fault().  That prevents the fault path from handling VMAs
whose fault handlers need to drop mmap_lock, such as userfaultfd-backed
mappings.

Use hmm_range_fault_unlocked_timeout() instead.  Passing a timeout of 0
preserves MSHV's existing unbounded retry behavior while letting the HMM
helper own mmap_lock acquisition and refresh range->notifier_seq
internally before walking the range.  After the fault succeeds, MSHV still
takes mreg_mutex and checks mmu_interval_read_retry() before installing
the pages into the region, so the existing invalidation synchronization is
preserved.

Fold the small fault-and-lock helper into mshv_region_range_fault(), since
the remaining retry path is just the standard "fault, take the driver
lock, check the interval notifier sequence" pattern.
