From: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com>

For now, folio_move_anon_rmap() was only used to move a folio to a
different anon_vma after fork(), whereby the root anon_vma stayed
unchanged. For that, it was sufficient to hold the folio lock when
calling folio_move_anon_rmap().

However, we want to make use of folio_move_anon_rmap() to move folios
between VMAs that have a different root anon_vma. As folio_referenced()
performs an RMAP walk without holding the folio lock but only holding the
anon_vma in read mode, holding the folio lock is insufficient.

When moving to an anon_vma with a different root anon_vma, we'll have to
hold both, the folio lock and the anon_vma lock in write mode.
Consequently, whenever we succeeded in folio_lock_anon_vma_read() to
read-lock the anon_vma, we have to re-check if the mapping was changed
in the meantime. If that was the case, we have to retry.

Note that folio_move_anon_rmap() must only be called if the anon page is
exclusive to a process, and must not be called on KSM folios.

This is a preparation for UFFDIO_MOVE, which will hold the folio lock,
the anon_vma lock in write mode, and the mmap_lock in read mode.

Is adding this specific label worthwhile?  How about rcu unlock and goto
retry (then it'll also be clear that we won't hold rcu read lock for
unpredictable time)?

Sorry for the delay, I was travelling for a week.

I was hesitant about RCU unlocking and then immediately re-locking but
your point about holding it for unpredictable time makes sense. Will
change. Thanks!
