H A Dporting.rstdiff 40d49a3c9e4a0e5cf7a6fcebc8d4d7d63d1f3f1b Fri Aug 18 22:23:34 CEST 2023 Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) <willy@infradead.org> mm: allow ->huge_fault() to be called without the mmap_lock held

Remove the checks for the VMA lock being held, allowing the page fault
path to call into the filesystem instead of retrying with the mmap_lock
held. This will improve scalability for DAX page faults. Also update the
documentation to match (and fix some other changes that have happened
recently).
