[PATCH 3.14 103/122] mm: madvise: fix MADV_WILLNEED on shmem swapouts

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Nov 19 2014 - 16:33:30 EST


3.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Johannes Weiner <hannes@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 55231e5c898c5c03c14194001e349f40f59bd300 upstream.

MADV_WILLNEED currently does not read swapped out shmem pages back in.

Commit 0cd6144aadd2 ("mm + fs: prepare for non-page entries in page
cache radix trees") made find_get_page() filter exceptional radix tree
entries but failed to convert all find_get_page() callers that WANT
exceptional entries over to find_get_entry(). One of them is shmem swap
readahead in madvise, which now skips over any swap-out records.

Convert it to find_get_entry().

Fixes: 0cd6144aadd2 ("mm + fs: prepare for non-page entries in page cache radix trees")
