I'm just testing a patch to mpage_readpage(): +++ b/fs/mpage.c @@ -406,11 +406,17 @@ int mpage_readpage(struct page *page, get_block_t get_block) .nr_pages = 1, .get_block = get_block, }; + int err; args.bio = do_mpage_readpage(&args); - if (args.bio) - mpage_bio_submit(REQ_OP_READ, 0, args.bio); - return 0; + if (!args.bio) + return 0; + bio_set_op_attrs(args.bio, REQ_OP_READ, 0); + guard_bio_eod(args.bio); + err = submit_bio_wait(args.bio); + if (!err) + err = AOP_UPDATED_PAGE; + return err; } EXPORT_SYMBOL(mpage_readpage); but I'm not looking forward to block_read_full_page().
