I think the comment above hmm_range_snapshot needs an update. Also 
Documentation/vm/hmm.rst shows some example code using 
hmm_range_snapshot that retries on -EAGAIN. That would need to be 
updated to use -EBUSY or remove the retry logic altogether.

Other than that, this patch is Reviewed-by: Felix Kuehling 
<Felix.Kuehling@xxxxxxx>

Philip, this means we should remove our retry logic again in 
amdgpu_ttm_tt_get_user_pages. According to the comment above 
hmm_range_fault, it can only return -EAGAIN if the block parameter is 
false. I think this statement is now actually true. We set block=true, 
so we can't get -EAGAIN. On -EBUSY we can let 
amdgpu_amdkfd_restore_userptr_worker schedule the retry (which it does 
already anyway).

Regards,
   Felix
