[PATCH v5 05/25] mm/arm64: Use general page fault accounting

Peter Xu peterx at redhat.com
Tue Jul 7 18:50:01 EDT 2020


Use the general page fault accounting by passing regs into handle_mm_fault().
It naturally solve the issue of multiple page fault accounting when page fault
retry happened.  To do this, we pass pt_regs pointer into __do_page_fault().
