Subject: [PATCH 1/1] mm: do not increment pgfault stats when page fault handler retries
Date: Fri, 14 Apr 2023 10:54:44 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230414175444.1837474-1-surenb@google.com> (raw)

If the page fault handler requests a retry, we will count the fault
multiple times.  This is a relatively harmless problem as the retry paths
are not often requested, and the only user-visible problem is that the
fault counter will be slightly higher than it should be.  Nevertheless,
userspace only took one fault, and should not see the fact that the
kernel had to retry the fault multiple times.

Fixes: 6b4c9f446981 ("filemap: drop the mmap_sem for all blocking operations")

Patch applies cleanly over linux-next and mm-unstable
