Hello,

sorry for the delay since the last version.

During Jasons work with postcopy migration support for s390 a problem regarding
gmap faults was discovered.

The gmap code will call fixup_user_fault which will end up always in
handle_mm_fault. Till now we never cared about retries, but as the userfaultfd
code kind of relies on it. this needs some fix.

This patchset does not take care of the futex code. I will now look closer at
this.

Thanks,
    Dominik

v2 -> v3:
- In case of retrying check vma again
- Do the accounting of major/minor faults once

v1 -> v2:
- Instread of passing the VM_FAULT_RETRY from fixup_user_fault we do retries
  within fixup_user_fault, like get_user_pages_locked do.
- gmap code will now take retry if fixup_user_fault drops the lock.
