Instead of waiting in a loop for the userfaultfd condition to become true, just wait once and return VM_FAULT_RETRY. We've already dropped the mmap lock, we know we can't really successfully handle the fault at this point and the caller will have to retry anyway. So there's no point in making the wait any more complicated than it needs to be - just schedule away. And once you don't have that complexity with explicit looping, you can also just lose all the 'userfaultfd_signal_pending()' complexity, because once we've set the correct process sleeping state, and don't loop, the act of scheduling itself will be checking if there are any pending signals before going to sleep. We can also drop the VM_FAULT_MAJOR games, since we'll be treating all retried faults as major soon anyway (series to regularize and share more of fault handling across architectures in a separate series by Peter Xu, and in the meantime we won't worry about the possible minor - I'll be here all week, try the veal - accounting difference).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
