When page fault is handled under per-VMA lock protection, all swap page faults are retried with mmap_lock because folio_lock_or_retry has to drop and reacquire mmap_lock if folio could not be immediately locked. Follow the same pattern as mmap_lock to drop per-VMA lock when waiting for folio and retrying once folio is available. With this obstacle removed, enable do_swap_page to operate under per-VMA lock protection. Drivers implementing ops->migrate_to_ram might still rely on mmap_lock, therefore we have to fall back to mmap_lock in that particular case. Note that the only time do_swap_page calls synchronous swap_readpage is when SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO is set, which is only set for QUEUE_FLAG_SYNCHRONOUS devices: brd, zram and nvdimms (both btt and pmem). Therefore we don't sleep in this path, and there's no need to drop the mmap or per-VMA lock.

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.
