Subject: [PATCH v2 12/15] mm: generalize handling of userfaults in __do_fault()
Date: Fri, 6 Mar 2026 19:18:12 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260306171815.3160826-13-rppt@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260306171815.3160826-1-rppt@kernel.org>
From: Peter Xu <peterx@redhat.com>
When a VMA is registered with userfaulfd, its ->fault()
method should check if a folio exists in the page cache and call
handle_userfault() with appropriate mode:
- VM_UFFD_MINOR if VMA is registered in minor mode and the folio exists
- VM_UFFD_MISSING if VMA is registered in missing mode and the folio
does not exist
Instead of calling handle_userfault() directly from a specific ->fault()
handler, call __do_userfault() helper from the generic __do_fault().
For VMAs registered with userfaultfd the new __do_userfault() helper
will check if the folio is found in the page cache using
vm_uffd_ops->get_folio_noalloc() and call handle_userfault() with the
appropriate mode.
Make vm_uffd_ops->get_folio_noalloc() required method for non-anonymous
VMAs mapped at PTE level.
