Subject: mm/khugepaged: stop swapping in page when VM_FAULT_RETRY occurs
Date: Sat, 11 Jun 2022 16:47:26 +0800
When do_swap_page returns VM_FAULT_RETRY, we do not retry here and thus
swap entry will remain in pagetable. This will result in later failure.
So stop swapping in pages in this case to save cpu cycles.
