Track the range being invalidated by mmu_notifier and skip page fault retries if the fault address is not affected by the in-progress invalidation. Handle concurrent invalidations by finding the minimal range which includes all ranges being invalidated. Although the combined range may include unrelated addresses and cannot be shrunk as individual invalidation operations complete, it is unlikely the marginal gains of proper range tracking are worth the additional complexity. The primary benefit of this change is the reduction in the likelihood of extreme latency when handing a page fault due to another thread having been preempted while modifying host virtual addresses.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
