arm64: readahead: fault retry breaks mmap file read random detection
commit 569ba74a7ba69f46ce2950bf085b37fea2408385 upstream.
This is the arm64 portion of commit 45cac65b0fcd ("readahead: fault
retry breaks mmap file read random detection"), which was absent from
the initial port and has since gone unnoticed. The original commit says:
> .fault now can retry. The retry can break state machine of .fault. In
> filemap_fault, if page is miss, ra->mmap_miss is increased. In the second
> try, since the page is in page cache now, ra->mmap_miss is decreased. And
> these are done in one fault, so we can't detect random mmap file access.
>
> Add a new flag to indicate .fault is tried once. In the second try, skip
> ra->mmap_miss decreasing. The filemap_fault state machine is ok with it.
With this change, Mark reports that:
> Random read improves by 250%, sequential read improves by 40%, and
> random write by 400% to an eMMC device with dm crypto wrapped around it.
