Jan Kara 0911d0041c mm: avoid returning VM_FAULT_RETRY from ->page_mkwrite handlers
Some ->page_mkwrite handlers may return VM_FAULT_RETRY as its return
code (GFS2 or Lustre can definitely do this).  However VM_FAULT_RETRY
from ->page_mkwrite is completely unhandled by the mm code and results
in locking and writeably mapping the page which definitely is not what
the caller wanted.

Fix Lustre and block_page_mkwrite_ret() used by other filesystems
(notably GFS2) to return VM_FAULT_NOPAGE instead which results in
bailing out from the fault code, the CPU then retries the access, and we
fault again effectively doing what the handler wanted.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
