Regardless of the initial intent, SPF happens to be very useful for
cases when we have multiple threads establishing some mappings
concurrently with page faults (see details at [1]). Android vendors
independently from each other were backporting your and Laurent's
patchset for years. I found internal reports of similar mmap_lock
contention issues in Google Fibers [2] and I suspect there are more
places this happens if people looked closer.
