The following could result in a blocking call: /* * Ok, found a page in the page cache, now we need to check * that it's up-to-date. */ if (!PageUptodate(page)) goto page_not_uptodate; Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- diff --git a/mm/filemap.c b/mm/filemap.c index 439b2bea8e3..93595c327bb 100644 --- a/mm/filemap.c +++ b/mm/filemap.c @@ -1379,8 +1379,13 @@ retry_find: * Ok, found a page in the page cache, now we need to check * that it's up-to-date. */ - if (!PageUptodate(page)) + if (!PageUptodate(page)) { + if (nonblock) { + page_cache_release(page); + return NULL; + } goto page_not_uptodate; + } success: /*
