Thanks Matthew, I did not know those APIs were available. Perhaps just
use page_cache_next_miss as suggested above for now.

FYI - There is the same pattern in hugetlbfs_fallocate()

/* See if already present in mapping to avoid alloc/free */
folio = filemap_get_folio(mapping, index);
if (folio) {
folio_put(folio);
mutex_unlock(&hugetlb_fault_mutex_table[hash]);
hugetlb_drop_vma_policy(&pseudo_vma);
continue;
}
