userfaultfd/shmem: combine shmem_{mcopy_atomic,mfill_zeropage}_pte
Patch series "userfaultfd: add minor fault handling for shmem", v6. Overview ======== See the series which added minor faults for hugetlbfs [3] for a detailed overview of minor fault handling in general. This series adds the same support for shmem-backed areas. This series is structured as follows: - Commits 1 and 2 are cleanups. - Commits 3 and 4 implement the new feature (minor fault handling for shmem). - Commit 5 advertises that the feature is now available since at this point it's fully implemented. - Commit 6 is a final cleanup, modifying an existing code path to re-use a new helper we've introduced. - Commits 7, 8, 9, 10 update the userfaultfd selftest to exercise the feature. Use Case ======== In some cases it is useful to have VM memory backed by tmpfs instead of hugetlbfs. So, this feature will be used to support the same VM live migration use case described in my original series. Additionally, Android folks (Lokesh Gidra <lokeshgidra@google.com>) hope to optimize the Android Runtime garbage collector using this feature: "The plan is to use userfaultfd for concurrently compacting the heap. With this feature, the heap can be shared-mapped at another location where the GC-thread(s) could continue the compaction operation without the need to invoke userfault ioctl(UFFDIO_COPY) each time. OTOH, if and when Java threads get faults on the heap, UFFDIO_CONTINUE can be used to resume execution. Furthermore, this feature enables updating references in the 'non-moving' portion of the heap efficiently. Without this feature, uneccessary page copying (ioctl(UFFDIO_COPY)) would be required."

This is all a bit overly complex. Just call the single combined shmem function directly, allowing us to clean up various branches, boilerplate, etc. While we're touching this function, two other small cleanup changes: - offset is equivalent to pgoff, so we can get rid of offset entirely. - Split two VM_BUG_ON cases into two statements. This means the line number reported when the BUG is hit specifies exactly which condition was true.
