Subject: [PATCH 3/5] mm: introduce VM_FAULT_UFFD_MINOR fault reason
Date: Sun, 23 Nov 2025 12:27:05 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251123102707.559422-4-rppt@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251123102707.559422-1-rppt@kernel.org>
From: "Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)" <rppt@kernel.org>
When a VMA is registered with userfaulfd in minor mode, its ->fault()
method should check if a folio exists in the page cache and if yes
->fault() should call handle_userfault(VM_UFFD_MISSING).
Instead of calling handle_userfault() directly from a specific ->fault()
implementation introduce new fault reason VM_FAULT_UFFD_MINOR that will
notify the core page fault handler that it should call
handle_userfaultfd(VM_UFFD_MISSING) to complete a page fault.
Replace a call to handle_userfault(VM_UFFD_MISSING) in shmem and use the
new VM_FAULT_UFFD_MINOR there instead.
