Callers of __find_get_block() may or may not allow for blocking semantics, and is currently assumed that it will not. Layout two paths based on this. The the private_lock scheme will continued to be used for atomic contexts. Otherwise take the folio lock instead, which protects the buffers, such as vs migration and try_to_free_buffers(). Per the "hack idea", the latter can alleviate contention on the private_lock for bdev mappings. For reasons of determinism and avoid making bugs hard to reproduce, the trylocking is not attempted. No change in semantics. All lookup users still take the spinlock.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
