[PATCH] mm/readahead: read min folio constraints under invalidate lock
Posted by Jinchao Wang 4 hours ago
page_cache_ra_order() and page_cache_ra_unbounded() read mapping minimum folio
constraints before taking the invalidate lock, allowing concurrent changes to
violate page cache invariants.

Move the lookups under filemap_invalidate_lock_shared() to ensure readahead
allocations respect the mapping constraints.

Fixes: 47dd67532303 ("block/bdev: lift block size restrictions to 64k")

Why are the mapping folio size constraints being changed?  They're
supposed to be set at inode instantiation and then never changed.
