Seems OK to me. I don't know why you think handle_mm_fault can't
be inline, but if it can be, then I have a modification attached
that removes the condition - any good?
Oh, it gets rid of the -1 for VM_FAULT_OOM. Doesn't seem like there
is a good reason for it, but might that break out of tree drivers?

Checking pte_dirty instead of pte_write in __follow_page is problematic
for s390, and for copy_one_pte which leaves dirty when clearing write.
So revert __follow_page to check pte_write as before, and let do_wp_page
pass back a special code VM_FAULT_WRITE to say it has done its full job
(whereas VM_FAULT_MINOR when it backs out on race): once get_user_pages
receives this value, it no longer requires pte_write in __follow_page.
But most callers of handle_mm_fault, in the various architectures, have
switch statements which do not expect this new case. To avoid changing
them all in a hurry, only pass back VM_FAULT_WRITE when write_access arg
says VM_FAULT_WRITE_EXPECTED - chosen as -1 since some arches pass
write_access as a boolean, some as a bitflag, but none as -1.
Yes, we do have a call to do_wp_page from do_swap_page, but no need to
change that: in rare case it's needed, another do_wp_page will follow.
