[PATCH] filemap_getpage can block when MAP_NONBLOCK specified
We will return NULL from filemap_getpage when a page does not exist in the
page cache and MAP_NONBLOCK is specified, here:
page = find_get_page(mapping, pgoff);
if (!page) {
if (nonblock)
return NULL;
goto no_cached_page;
}
But we forget to do so when the page in the cache is not uptodate. The
following could result in a blocking call:
/*
* Ok, found a page in the page cache, now we need to check
* that it's up-to-date.
*/
if (!PageUptodate(page))
goto page_not_uptodate;
