NAK. Have you tested this with lockdep enabled?

->map_pages() called with page table lock taken and ->i_mmap_mutex
should be taken before it. It seems we need to take ->i_mmap_mutex in
do_read_fault() before calling ->map_pages().

Side note: I'm sceptical about whole idea to use i_mmap_mutux to protect
against truncate. It will not scale good enough comparing lock_page()
with its granularity.
