arm64: readahead: fault retry breaks mmap file read random detection
commit 569ba74a7ba69f46ce2950bf085b37fea2408385 upstream. This is the arm64 portion of commit 45cac65b0fcd ("readahead: fault retry breaks mmap file read random detection"), which was absent from the initial port and has since gone unnoticed. The original commit says: > .fault now can retry. The retry can break state machine of .fault. In > filemap_fault, if page is miss, ra->mmap_miss is increased. In the second > try, since the page is in page cache now, ra->mmap_miss is decreased. And > these are done in one fault, so we can't detect random mmap file access. > > Add a new flag to indicate .fault is tried once. In the second try, skip > ra->mmap_miss decreasing. The filemap_fault state machine is ok with it. With this change, Mark reports that: > Random read improves by 250%, sequential read improves by 40%, and > random write by 400% to an eMMC device with dm crypto wrapped around it.
