      kvm: Faults which trigger IO release the mmap_sem · 234b239b
      Andres Lagar-Cavilla 提交于
      When KVM handles a tdp fault it uses FOLL_NOWAIT. If the guest memory
      has been swapped out or is behind a filemap, this will trigger async
      readahead and return immediately. The rationale is that KVM will kick
      back the guest with an "async page fault" and allow for some other
      guest process to take over.
      
      If async PFs are enabled the fault is retried asap from an async
      workqueue. If not, it's retried immediately in the same code path. In
      either case the retry will not relinquish the mmap semaphore and will
      block on the IO. This is a bad thing, as other mmap semaphore users
      now stall as a function of swap or filemap latency.
      
      This patch ensures both the regular and async PF path re-enter the
      fault allowing for the mmap semaphore to be relinquished in the case
      of IO wait.
