[patch 015/198] filemap_getpage can block when MAP_NONBLOCK specified

[akpm@osdl.org]

From: Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@redhat.com>

We will return NULL from filemap_getpage when a page does not exist in the
page cache and MAP_NONBLOCK is specified, here:

	page = find_get_page(mapping, pgoff);
	if (!page) {
		if (nonblock)
			return NULL;
		goto no_cached_page;
	}

But we forget to do so when the page in the cache is not uptodate.  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;
