But that's just a performance optimization that happens to paper over your problem. Real fix is the proper handling of fault retry as you did it. Honza -- Jan Kara SUSE Labs, CR --hQiwHBbRI9kgIhsi Content-Type: text/x-patch; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="0001-mm-Don-t-bother-dropping-mmap_sem-for-zero-size-read.patch" >From e12c861e687364ff5a891f0ae90283b384d74197 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara Date: Wed, 6 Nov 2019 15:30:26 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] mm: 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.
