[PATCH] ceph: avoid pending truncate during nonblocking cap acquire

From: Max Kellermann

Date: Fri Sep 04 2026 - 06:41:22 EST


Readahead acquires caps while the folios are locked. This can
deadlock when processing a pending truncate; truncate_pagecache() can
then attempt to a folio that is already locked.

Return -EAGAIN instead when `NON_BLOCKING` is set, causing the
readahead to be abandoned.
