ARC: mm: do_page_fault refactor #8: release mmap_sem sooner
In case of successful page fault handling, this patch releases mmap_sem before updating the perf stat event for major/minor faults. So even though the contention reduction is NOT super high, it is still an improvement. There's an additional code size improvement as we only have 2 up_read() calls now. Note to myself: -------------- 1. Given the way it is done, we are forced to move @bad_area label earlier causing the various "goto bad_area" cases to hit perf stat code. - PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS is NOW updated for access errors which is what arm/arm64 seem to be doing as well (with slightly different code) - PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS_{MAJ,MIN} must NOT be updated for the error case which is guarded by now setting @fault initial value to VM_FAULT_ERROR which serves both cases when handle_mm_fault() returns error or is not called at all. 2. arm/arm64 use two homebrew fault flags VM_FAULT_BAD{MAP,MAPACCESS} which I was inclined to add too but seems not needed for ARC - given that we have everything is 1 function we can still use goto - we setup si_code at the right place (arm* do that in the end) - we init fault already to error value which guards entry into perf stats event update Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com>
