Subject: mm: avoid returning VM_FAULT_RETRY from ->page_mkwrite handlers

From: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>


[ Upstream commit 0911d0041c22922228ca52a977d7b0b0159fee4b ]

Some ->page_mkwrite handlers may return VM_FAULT_RETRY as its return
code (GFS2 or Lustre can definitely do this).  However VM_FAULT_RETRY
from ->page_mkwrite is completely unhandled by the mm code and results
in locking and writeably mapping the page which definitely is not what
the caller wanted.

Fix Lustre and block_page_mkwrite_ret() used by other filesystems
(notably GFS2) to return VM_FAULT_NOPAGE instead which results in
bailing out from the fault code, the CPU then retries the access, and we
fault again effectively doing what the handler wanted.
