#1317958 — [PATCH 0/2] Avoid unnecessary page locks in the generic read path v2r1

Changelog since V1
o Use lock_page_killable consistently do_generic_file_read		(jan)

A long time ago there was an attempt to merge a patch that reduced the
cost of unlock_page by avoiding the page_waitqueue lookup if there were no
waiters. It was rejected on the grounds of complexity but it was pointed
out that the read paths call lock_page unnecessarily. This series reduces
the number of calls to lock_page when multiple processes read data in at
the same time.
