The patch titled

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

Subject: mm/filemap.c: don't bother dropping mmap_sem for zero size readahead
When handling a page fault, we drop mmap_sem to start async readahead so
that we don't block on IO submission with mmap_sem held. However there's
no point to drop mmap_sem in case readahead is disabled. Handle that case
to avoid pointless dropping of mmap_sem and retrying the fault. This was
actually reported to block mlockall(MCL_CURRENT) indefinitely.
