From: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx> commit 5c72feee3e45b40a3c96c7145ec422899d0e8964 upstream. 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.
