Subject: [PATCH v7 02/22] Allow page fault handlers to perform the COW
Currently COW of an XIP file is done by first bringing in a read-only
mapping, then retrying the fault and copying the page. It is much more
efficient to tell the fault handler that a COW is being attempted (by
passing in the pre-allocated page in the vm_fault structure), and allow
the handler to perform the COW operation itself.
Where the filemap code protects against truncation of the file until
the PTE has been installed with the page lock, the XIP code use the
i_mmap_mutex instead. We must therefore unlock the i_mmap_mutex after
inserting the PTE.
