Subject: [PATCH v14] mm: don't set readahead flag on a folio when lookahead_size > nr_to_read
Date: Tue, 15 Oct 2024 18:41:06 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241015164106.465253-1-kernel@pankajraghav.com> (raw)

From: Pankaj Raghav <p.raghav@samsung.com>

The readahead flag is set on a folio based on the lookahead_size and
nr_to_read. For example, when the readahead happens from index to index
+ nr_to_read, then the readahead `mark` offset from index is set at
nr_to_read - lookahead_size.

There are some scenarios where the lookahead_size > nr_to_read. If this
happens, readahead flag is not set on any folio on the current
readahead window.

There are two problems at the moment in the way `mark` is calculated
when lookahead_size > nr_to_read:

- unsigned long `mark` will be assigned a negative value which can lead
  to unexpected results in extreme cases due to wrap around.

- The current calculation for `mark` with mapping_min_order > 0 gives
  incorrect results when lookahead_size > nr_to_read due to rounding
  up operation.

Explicitly initialize `mark` to be ULONG_MAX and only calculate it
when lookahead_size is within the readahead window.

Fixes: 26cfdb395eef ("readahead: allocate folios with mapping_min_order in readahead")
