The patch titled Subject: mm/filemap: don't call ->readpage if IOCB_WAITQ is set has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is mm-filemap-dont-call-readpage-if-iocb_waitq-is-set.patch This patch should soon appear at https://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/mm-filemap-dont-call-readpage-if-iocb_waitq-is-set.patch and later at https://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/mm-filemap-dont-call-readpage-if-iocb_waitq-is-set.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/filemap: don't call ->readpage if IOCB_WAITQ is set The readpage operation can block in many (most?) filesystems, so we should punt to a work queue instead of calling it. This was the last caller of lock_page_for_iocb(), so remove it.
