__do_fault assumes vmf->page has been initialized and is valid if VM_FAULT_NOPAGE is not returned by vma->vm_ops->fault(vma, vmf). handle_userfault() in turn should return VM_FAULT_NOPAGE if it doesn't return VM_FAULT_SIGBUS or VM_FAULT_RETRY (the other two possibilities). This VM_FAULT_NOPAGE case is only invoked when signal are pending and it didn't matter for anonymous memory before. It only started to matter since shmem was introduced. hugetlbfs also takes a different path and doesn't exercise __do_fault.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
