I remembered to have seen the fault() handling FAULT_FLAG_RETRY_NOWAIT at least
in the very first version, but it's not here any more...  Could I ask what's
the reason behind?  I probably have missed something along with the versions,
I'm just not sure whether e.g. this would potentially block a GUP caller even
if it's with FOLL_NOWAIT.

Side note: Another thing I thought about when reading this patch - there seems
to have quite some possibility that the VFIO_DEVICE_PCI_HOT_RESET ioctl will
start to return -EBUSY now.  Not a problem for this series, but maybe we should
rememeber to let the userspace handle -EBUSY properly as follow up too, since I
saw QEMU seemed to not handle -EBUSY for host reset path right now.

Thanks,
