Subject: [PATCH] mm/filemap.c: Always read one page in do_sync_mmap_readahead()
filemap_fault() calls do_sync_mmap_readahead() to read pages when no
page is found in the page cache. However do_sync_mmap_readahead() will
not actually read any pages if VM_RAND_READ is specified or if there
have been a lot of page cache misses.
This means filemap_fault() will see a folio that is not up-to-date which
is treated as an IO error. The IO error handling path happens to make
VM_RAND_READ work as expected though because it retries reading the
page.
However it would be cleaner if this was handled in
do_sync_mmap_readahead() to match what is done for VM_HUGEPAGE. Also as
do_sync_mmap_readahead() adds the newly allocated folio to the pagecache
and unlocks it this clean-up also allows the FGP_FOR_MMAP flag to be
removed.
