mm: allow full handling of COW faults in ->fault handlers
Patch series "dax: Clear dirty bits after flushing caches", v5. Patchset to clear dirty bits from radix tree of DAX inodes when caches for corresponding pfns have been flushed. In principle, these patches enable handlers to easily update PTEs and do other work necessary to finish the fault without duplicating the functionality present in the generic code. I'd like to thank Kirill and Ross for reviews of the series! This patch (of 20): To allow full handling of COW faults add memcg field to struct vm_fault and a return value of ->fault() handler meaning that COW fault is fully handled and memcg charge must not be canceled. This will allow us to remove knowledge about special DAX locking from the generic fault code.
