Historically we've held the extent lock throughout the entire read. There's been a few reasons for this, but it's mostly just caused us problems. For example, this prevents us from allowing page faults during direct io reads, because we could deadlock. This has forced us to only allow 4k reads at a time for io_uring NOWAIT requests because we have no idea if we'll be forced to page fault and thus have to do a whole lot of work. On the buffered side we are protected by the page lock, as long as we're reading things like buffered writes, punch hole, and even direct IO to a certain degree will get hung up on the page lock while the page is in flight. On the direct side we have the dio extent lock, which acts much like the way the extent lock worked previously to this patch, however just for direct reads. This protects direct reads from concurrent direct writes, while we're protected from buffered writes via the inode lock. Now that we're protected in all cases, narrow the extent lock to the part where we're getting the extent map to submit the reads, no longer holding the extent lock for the entire read operation. Push the extent lock down into do_readpage() so that we're only grabbing it when looking up the extent map. This portion was contributed by Goldwyn.

README
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 reStructuredText 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.
