Allow multiple callers to install pages simultaneously by switching the mmap_sem from write-mode to read-mode. Races to the same PTE are handled using get_user_pages_remote() to retrieve the already installed page. This method significantly reduces contention in the mmap semaphore. To ensure safety, vma_lookup() is used (instead of alloc->vma) to avoid operating on an isolated VMA. In addition, zap_page_range_single() is called under the alloc->mutex to avoid racing with the shrinker. Many thanks to Barry Song who posted a similar approach [1].
