Hi,
These patches allow guest_memfd to notify userspace about minor page
faults using userfaultfd and let userspace to resolve these page faults
using UFFDIO_CONTINUE.
To allow UFFDIO_CONTINUE outside of the core mm I added a get_shmem_folio()
callback to vm_ops that allows an address space backing a VMA to return a
folio that exists in it's page cache (patch 2)
In order for guest_memfd to notify userspace about page faults, there is a
new VM_FAULT_UFFD_MINOR that a ->fault() handler can return to inform the
page fault handler that it needs to call handle_userfault() to complete the
fault (patch 3).
Patch 4 plumbs these new goodies into guest_memfd.
This series is the minimal change I've been able to come up with to allow
integration of guest_memfd with uffd and while refactoring uffd and making
mfill_atomic() flow more linear would have been a nice improvement, it's
way out of the scope of enabling uffd with guest_memfd.
v2 changes:
* Introduce VM_FAULF_UFFD_MINOR to avoid exporting handle_userfault()
* Simplify vma_can_mfill_atomic()
* Rename get_pagecache_folio() to get_shared_folio() and use inode
instead of vma as its argument
