Subject: arm64: mm: accelerate pagefault when VM_FAULT_BADACCESS
Date: Wed, 3 Apr 2024 16:38:00 +0800
The vm_flags of vma already checked under per-VMA lock, if it is a bad
access, directly set fault to VM_FAULT_BADACCESS and handle error, no need
to retry with mmap_lock again, the latency time reduces 34% in 'lat_sig -P
1 prot lat_sig' from lmbench testcase.
Since the page fault is handled under per-VMA lock, count it as a vma lock
event with VMA_LOCK_SUCCESS.
