Darrick reports that in some cases where pread() would fail with -EIO and mmap()+access would generate a SIGBUS signal, MADV_POPULATE_READ / MADV_POPULATE_WRITE will keep retrying forever and not fail with -EFAULT. While the madvise() call can be interrupted by a signal, this is not the desired behavior. MADV_POPULATE_READ / MADV_POPULATE_WRITE should behave like page faults in that case: fail and not retry forever. A reproducer can be found at [1]. The reason is that __get_user_pages(), as called by faultin_vma_page_range(), will not handle VM_FAULT_RETRY in a proper way: it will simply return 0 when VM_FAULT_RETRY happened, making madvise_populate()->faultin_vma_page_range() retry again and again, never setting FOLL_TRIED->FAULT_FLAG_TRIED for __get_user_pages(). __get_user_pages_locked() does what we want, but duplicating that logic in faultin_vma_page_range() feels wrong. So let's use __get_user_pages_locked() instead, that will detect VM_FAULT_RETRY and set FOLL_TRIED when retrying, making the fault handler return VM_FAULT_SIGBUS (VM_FAULT_ERROR) at some point, propagating -EFAULT from faultin_page() to __get_user_pages(), all the way to madvise_populate(). But, there is an issue: __get_user_pages_locked() will end up re-taking the MM lock and then __get_user_pages() will do another VMA lookup. In the meantime, the VMA layout could have changed and we'd fail with different error codes than we'd want to. As __get_user_pages() will currently do a new VMA lookup either way, let it do the VMA handling in a different way, controlled by a new FOLL_MADV_POPULATE flag, effectively moving these checks from madvise_populate() + faultin_page_range() in there. With this change, Darricks reproducer properly fails with -EFAULT, as documented for MADV_POPULATE_READ / MADV_POPULATE_WRITE.
