Subject: [PATCH 1/1] mm/readahead: simplify page_cache_ra_unbounded loop counter reset
Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2026 18:19:07 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260501011908.3630802-1-fmayle@google.com> (raw)

Minor cleanup, no behavior change intended.

`read_pages` ensures that `ractl->_nr_pages` is zero before it returns,
so the `ractl->_nr_pages` term in these expressions contributes nothing.
This seems to have been true since the statements were introduced in
commit f615bd5c4725f ("mm/readahead: Handle ractl nr_pages being
modified").

The new expression has an intuitive explanation. When filesystems
perform readahead, they increment `ractl->_index` by the number of pages
processed, so, after `read_pages` returns, `ractl->_index` points to the
first page after those already processed. `index` points to the first
page considered in the loop. So, `ractl->_index - index` is the number
of pages processed by the loop so far.
