    mm: Allow the [page|pfn]_mkwrite callbacks to drop the mmap_sem · c9e5f41f
    Thomas Hellstrom authored
    Driver fault callbacks are allowed to drop the mmap_sem when expecting
    long hardware waits to avoid blocking other mm users. Allow the mkwrite
    callbacks to do the same by returning early on VM_FAULT_RETRY.
    
    In particular we want to be able to drop the mmap_sem when waiting for
    a reservation object lock on a GPU buffer object. These locks may be
    held while waiting for the GPU.
