+ * shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp - read into page cache, using specified page allocation flags.
+ * @mapping:	the page's address_space
+ * @index:	the page index
+ * @gfp:	the page allocator flags to use if allocating
+ *
+ * This behaves as a tmpfs "read_cache_page_gfp(mapping, index, gfp)",
+ * with any new page allocations done using the specified allocation flags.
+ * But read_cache_page_gfp() uses the ->readpage() method: which does not
+ * suit tmpfs, since it may have pages in swapcache, and needs to find those
+ * for itself; although drivers/gpu/drm i915 and ttm rely upon this support.
+ *
+ * Provide a stub for those callers to start using now, then later
+ * flesh it out to call shmem_getpage() with additional gfp mask, when
+ * shmem_file_splice_read() is added and shmem_readpage() is removed.
