Subject: [PATCH v3 00/18] Allow readpage to return a locked page

I've dropped the conversion of readpage implementations to synchronous
from this patchset.  I realised I'd neglected the requirement for making
the sleep killable, and that turns out to be more convoluted to fix.

So these patches add:
 - An error-path bugfix for cachefiles.
 - The ability for the filesystem to tell the caller of ->readpage
   that the read was successful and the page was not unlocked.  This is
   a performance improvement for some scenarios that I think are rare.
 - Mildly improved error handling for ext4.

Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) (18):
  cachefiles: Handle readpage error correctly
  swap: Call aops->readahead if appropriate
  fs: Add AOP_UPDATED_PAGE return value
  mm/filemap: Inline wait_on_page_read into its one caller
  9p: Tell the VFS that readpage was synchronous
  afs: Tell the VFS that readpage was synchronous
  ceph: Tell the VFS that readpage was synchronous
  cifs: Tell the VFS that readpage was synchronous
  cramfs: Tell the VFS that readpage was synchronous
  ecryptfs: Tell the VFS that readpage was synchronous
  ext4: Tell the VFS that readpage was synchronous
  ext4: Return error from ext4_readpage
  fuse: Tell the VFS that readpage was synchronous
  hostfs: Tell the VFS that readpage was synchronous
  jffs2: Tell the VFS that readpage was synchronous
