Suren,

Sorry to review so late.

We have an open-coded fast path above this:

	if (down_read_trylock(&root_anon_vma->rwsem)) {
		/*
		 * If the folio is still mapped, then this anon_vma is still
		 * its anon_vma, and holding the mutex ensures that it will
		 * not go away, see anon_vma_free().
		 */
		if (!folio_mapped(folio)) {
			up_read(&root_anon_vma->rwsem);
			anon_vma = NULL;
		}
		goto out;
	}

Would that also need such check?
