Yes I think so. The patch avoids the page fault retry, including the mmap lock/unlock side. Now if we retake the lock for fixup_user_fault() we still safe time for pgtable walks but the lock overhead will be somehow kept, just with smaller critical sections. Some fixup_user_fault() callers won't be affected as long as unlocked==NULL is passed - e.g. the futex code path (fault_in_user_writeable). After all they never needed to retake the lock before/after this patch. It's about the other callers, and they may need some more touch-ups case by case. Examples are follow_fault_pfn() in vfio and hva_to_pfn_remapped() in KVM: both of them returns -EAGAIN when *unlocked==true. We need to teach them to know "*unlocked==true" does not necessarily mean a retry attempt. I think I can look into them if this patch can be accepted as a follow up.
