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. For
example, readahead window was created, but the file was truncated before
the readahead starts. do_page_cache_ra() will clamp the nr_to_read if the
readahead window extends beyond EOF after truncation. If this happens,
readahead flag should not be set on any folio on the current readahead
window.
The current calculation for `mark` with mapping_min_order > 0 gives
incorrect results when lookahead_size > nr_to_read due to rounding up
operation:
index = 128
nr_to_read = 16
lookahead_size = 28
mapping_min_order = 4 (16 pages)
ra_folio_index = round_up(128 + 16 - 28, 16) = 128;
mark = 128 - 128 = 0; # offset from index to set RA flag
In the above example, the lookahead_size is actually lying outside the
current readahead window. Without this patch, RA flag will be set
incorrectly on the folio at index 128. This can lead to marking the
readahead flag on the wrong folio, therefore, triggering a readahead when
it is not necessary.
Explicitly initialize `mark` to be ULONG_MAX and only calculate it when
lookahead_size is within the readahead window.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
