From 755aa1bc6aaf9961aa4bdb54f32faaba06c08792 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Thu, 15 Jun 2023 16:17:48 -0700 Subject: mm: make the page fault mmap locking killable commit eda0047296a16d65a7f2bc60a408f70d178b2014 upstream. This is done as a separate patch from introducing the new lock_mm_and_find_vma() helper, because while it's an obvious change, it's not what x86 used to do in this area. We already abort the page fault on fatal signals anyway, so why should we wait for the mmap lock only to then abort later? With the new helper function that returns without the lock held on failure anyway, this is particularly easy and straightforward.
