Subject: [PATCH 03/11] MM: improve cleanup when ->readpages doesn't process all pages.
Date: Thu, 10 Feb 2022 16:37:52 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <164447147258.23354.15753542879688740872.stgit@noble.brown> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <164447124918.23354.17858831070003318849.stgit@noble.brown>

If ->readpages doesn't process all the pages, then it is best to act as
though they weren't requested so that a subsequent readahead can try
again.
So:
  - remove any 'ahead' pages from the page cache so they can be loaded
    with ->readahead() rather then multiple ->read()s
  - update the file_ra_state to reflect the reads that were actually
    submitted.

This allows ->readpages() to abort early due e.g.  to congestion, which
will then allow us to remove the inode_read_congested() test from
page_Cache_async_ra().
