[PATCH 16/23] thp, mm: handle transhuge pages in do_generic_file_read()

From: Kirill A. Shutemov
Date: Sat Aug 03 2013 - 22:16:16 EST


From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" <kirill.shutemov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

If a transhuge page is already in page cache (up to date and not
readahead) we go usual path: read from relevant subpage (head or tail).

If page is not cached (sparse file in ramfs case) and the mapping can
have hugepage we try allocate a new one and read it.

If a page is not up to date or in readahead, we have to move 'page' to
head page of the compound page, since it represents state of whole
transhuge page. We will switch back to relevant subpage when page is
ready to be read ('page_ok' label).
