Subject: [RFC PATCH] mm/filemap.c: fix the timing of asignment of prev_pos
Date: Wed, 17 Aug 2022 21:51:57 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1660744317-8183-1-git-send-email-kanie@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)

The prev_pos should be assigned before the iocb->ki_pos is incremented,
so that the prev_pos is the exact location of the last visit.

Fixes: 06c0444290cec ("mm/filemap.c: generic_file_buffered_read() now
uses find_get_pages_contig")

Hi guys,
    When I`m running repetitive 4k read io which has same offset,
I find that access to folio_mark_accessed is inevitable in the
read process, the reason is that the prev_pos is assigned after the
iocb->ki_pos is incremented, so that the prev_pos is always not equal
to the position currently visited.
    Is this a bug that needs fixing?
