Don't retry a page fault due to an mmu_notifier invalidation when handling a page fault for a GPA that did not resolve to a memslot, i.e. an MMIO page fault. Invalidations from the mmu_notifier signal a change in a host virtual address (HVA) mapping; without a memslot, there is no HVA and thus no possibility that the invalidation is relevant to the page fault being handled. Note, the MMIO vs. memslot generation checks handle the case where a pending memslot will create a memslot overlapping the faulting GPA. The mmu_notifier checks are orthogonal to memslot updates.

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.
