This patchset standalone is an optimization leveraging the page fault FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY flag which allows the page fault paths to drop the mmap_sem before I/O.
For the userfaultfd patchset this patch is instead a dependency as we need that flag always set the first time any thread attempts a page fault, in order to release the mmap_sem before stopping the page fault (while waiting for a later userland wakeup).
