[PATCH v3 28/35] mm: prevent do_swap_page from handling page faults under VMA lock

From: Suren Baghdasaryan
Date: Thu Feb 16 2023 - 00:21:01 EST


Due to the possibility of do_swap_page dropping mmap_lock, abort fault
handling under VMA lock and retry holding mmap_lock. This can be handled
more gracefully in the future.
