Subject: [PATCH 0/1] mm, shmem: map few pages around fault address if they are in page cache

This is a follow-up patch for "mm: map few pages around fault address if they are in page cache"

We use the generic filemap_map_pages as ->map_pages in shmem/tmpfs.

Please consider applying.

=========================================================================
Below is just some simple experiment numbers from this patch, let me know if
you would like more:

Tested on Xeon machine with 64GiB of RAM, using the current default fault
order 4.

Sequential access 8GiB file
			Baseline 	with-patch
1 thread
    minor fault		205		101	
    time, seconds	7.94		7.82

Random access 8GiB file
			Baseline 	with-patch
1 thread
    minor fault		724		623
    time, seconds	9.75		9.84
