Copy with filemap_read_rcu() first, and continue with the existing loop where it stops. Holes, swap entries and fallocated folios that are not uptodate all end the copy. So does a hwpoisoned page, which shmem keeps in the page cache and reports with -EIO. This drops the folio lock as well as the reference. shmem_get_folio() held it only for the lookup, and the copy ran after folio_unlock(), so a read was never atomic against a write or a hole punch. Now a read also does not wait for one that holds the lock, as filemap_read() does not. shmem does no readahead, and on its folios the PG_readahead bit is PG_reclaim, which drop_caches can leave set on dirty tmpfs folios. Do not let it end the copy there.
