From 5c72feee3e45b40a3c96c7145ec422899d0e8964 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara Date: Wed, 1 Apr 2020 21:04:40 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] 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.
