filemap_fault(9) read in file data for page fault handling

SYNOPSIS

int filemap_fault(struct vm_area_struct * vma, struct vm_fault * vmf);

ARGUMENTS

vma

vma in which the fault was taken

vmf

struct vm_fault containing details of the fault

DESCRIPTION

filemap_fault is invoked via the vma operations vector for a mapped memory region to read in file data during a page fault.

The goto's are kind of ugly, but this streamlines the normal case of having it in the page cache, and handles the special cases reasonably without having a lot of duplicated code.
