tmpfs: add shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Although it is used (by i915) on nothing but tmpfs, read_cache_page_gfp()
is unsuited to tmpfs, because it inserts a page into pagecache before
calling the filesystem's ->readpage: tmpfs may have pages in swapcache
which only it knows how to locate and switch to filecache.

At present tmpfs provides a ->readpage method, and copes with this by
copying pages; but soon we can simplify it by removing its ->readpage.
Provide shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp() now, ready for that transition,

Export shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp() and add it to list in shmem_fs.h,
with shmem_read_mapping_page() inline for the common mapping_gfp case.

(shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp or shmem_read_cache_page_gfp? Generally the
read_mapping_page functions use the mapping's ->readpage, and the
read_cache_page functions use the supplied filler, so I think
read_cache_page_gfp was slightly misnamed.)

/**
* shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp - read into page cache, using specified page allocation flags.
* @mapping: the page's address_space
* @index: the page index
* @gfp: the page allocator flags to use if allocating
*
* This behaves as a tmpfs "read_cache_page_gfp(mapping, index, gfp)",
* with any new page allocations done using the specified allocation flags.
* But read_cache_page_gfp() uses the ->readpage() method: which does not
* suit tmpfs, since it may have pages in swapcache, and needs to find those
* for itself; although drivers/gpu/drm i915 and ttm rely upon this support.
*
* Provide a stub for those callers to start using now, then later
* flesh it out to call shmem_getpage() with additional gfp mask, when
* shmem_file_splice_read() is added and shmem_readpage() is removed.
