[PATCH 1/1] mm: handle swap page faults if the faulting page can be locked

[Suren Baghdasaryan]

When page fault is handled under VMA lock protection, all swap page
faults are retried with mmap_lock because folio_lock_or_retry
implementation has to drop and reacquire mmap_lock if folio could
not be immediately locked.
Instead of retrying all swapped page faults, retry only when folio
locking fails.

Patch applies cleanly over linux-next and mm-unstable
