Subject: mm: fix filemap_get_folios_contig returning batches of identical folios
Date: Thu, 3 Apr 2025 16:54:17 -0700
filemap_get_folios_contig() is supposed to return distinct folios found
within [start, end]. Large folios in the Xarray become multi-index
entries. xas_next() can iterate through the sub-indexes before finding a
sibling entry and breaking out of the loop.
This can result in a returned folio_batch containing an indeterminate
number of duplicate folios, which forces the callers to skeptically handle
the returned batch. This is inefficient and incurs a large maintenance
overhead.
We can fix this by calling xas_advance() after we have successfully adding
a folio to the batch to ensure our Xarray is positioned such that it will
correctly find the next folio - similar to filemap_get_read_batch().
