hmm_range_fault() may return NULL pages because some of the pfns are equal
to HMM_PFN_NONE. This happens randomly under memory pressure. The reason
is during the swapped out page pte path, hmm_vma_handle_pte() doesn't
update the fault variable from cpu_flags, so it failed to call
hmm_vam_do_fault() to swap the page in.
The fix is to call hmm_pte_need_fault() to update fault variable.

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.
