[PATCH] mm/filemap: In page fault retry path skip filemap_map_pages() if no read-ahead pages

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In filemap_fault(), if don't want read-ahead, the process is as follows:

First, __filemap_get_folio alloc one new folio, because PG_uptodate is not
set, filemap_read_folio() will be called later to read data into the folio.
Secondly, before returning, it will check whether the per vma lock or
mmap_lock is released. If the lock is released, VM_FAULT_RETRY is returned,
which means that the page fault path needs retry again. Finally,
filemap_map_pages() is called in do_fault_around() to establish a page
table mapping for the previous folio.

Because filemap_read_folio() just read the data of one folio, without
read-ahead pages, it is no needs to go through the do_fault_around() again
in the page fault retry path.
