    arm64: readahead: fault retry breaks mmap file read random detection · 569ba74a

    This is the arm64 portion of commit 45cac65b ("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.
