From 8c8387ee3f55a38c3388882f1dd72dc526965211 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Howells Date: Fri, 5 Nov 2021 13:36:49 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm: stop filemap_read() from grabbing a superfluous page Under some circumstances, filemap_read() will allocate sufficient pages to read to the end of the file, call readahead/readpages on them and copy the data over - and then it will allocate another page at the EOF and call readpage on that and then ignore it. This is unnecessary and a waste of time and resources. filemap_read() *does* check for this, but only after it has already done the allocation and I/O. Fix this by checking before calling filemap_get_pages() also.
