Subject: [PATCH v2 27/33] mm: prevent userfaults to be handled under per-vma lock

From: Suren Baghdasaryan <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 27 Jan 2023 11:41:04 -0800

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