Hao Xu c8d317aa18 io_uring: fix async buffered reads when readahead is disabled
The async buffered reads feature is not working when readahead is
turned off. There are two things to concern:

- when doing retry in io_read, not only the IOCB_WAITQ flag but also
  the IOCB_NOWAIT flag is still set, which makes it goes to would_block
  phase in generic_file_buffered_read() and then return -EAGAIN. After
  that, the io-wq thread work is queued, and later doing the async
  reads in the old way.

- even if we remove IOCB_NOWAIT when doing retry, the feature is still
  not running properly, since in generic_file_buffered_read() it goes to
  lock_page_killable() after calling mapping->a_ops->readpage() to do
  IO, and thus causing process to sleep.

Fixes: 1a0a7853b9 ("mm: support async buffered reads in generic_file_buffered_read()")
Fixes: 3b2a4439e0 ("io_uring: get rid of kiocb_wait_page_queue_init()")

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
