My apologies.  I missed that you were not cc'ed on this thred:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20200706202615.32111-1-mike.kravetz@oracle.com/

As mentioned, there will likely be another revision to the way locking is
handled.  The new scheme will try to consider performance as is done in
the above link.  I suggest you wait for next revision.  If you do not mind,
I will cc you when the new code is posted.
