[PATCH 2/2] mm/hmm: Only set FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY for non-blocking

[Kuehling, Felix]

Hi Jerome,

Do you want me to push the patches to your branch? Or are you going to 
apply them yourself?

Is your hmm-5.2-v3 branch going to make it into Linux 5.2? If so, do you 
know when? I'd like to coordinate with Dave Airlie so that we can also 
get that update into a drm-next branch soon.

I see that Linus merged Dave's pull request for Linux 5.2, which 
includes the first changes in amdgpu using HMM. They're currently broken 
without these two patches.

Thanks,
   Felix
