>> When the speculative page fault handler is returning VM_RETRY, there is a
>> chance that VMA fetched without grabbing the mmap_sem can be reused by the
>> legacy page fault handler.  By reusing it, we avoid calling find_vma()
>> again. To achieve, that we must ensure that the VMA structure will not be
>> freed in our back. This is done by getting the reference on it (get_vma())
>> and by assuming that the caller will call the new service
>> can_reuse_spf_vma() once it has grabbed the mmap_sem.
>>
>> can_reuse_spf_vma() is first checking that the VMA is still in the RB tree
>> , and then that the VMA's boundaries matched the passed address and release
>> the reference on the VMA so that it can be freed if needed.
>>
>> In the case the VMA is freed, can_reuse_spf_vma() will have returned false
>> as the VMA is no more in the RB tree.
