From 5c5474d66c37d8a9d05287f9694cf6077b8a87d2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" Date: Thu, 29 Apr 2021 22:55:29 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm/filemap: drop check for truncated page after I/O If the I/O completed successfully, the page will remain Uptodate, even if it is subsequently truncated. If the I/O completed with an error, this check would cause us to retry the I/O if the page were truncated before we woke up. There is no need to retry the I/O; the I/O to fill the page failed, so we can legitimately just return -EIO. This code was originally added by commit 56f0d5fe6851 ("[PATCH] readpage-vs-invalidate fix") in 2005 (this commit ID is from the linux-fullhistory tree; it is also commit ba1f08f14b52 in tglx-history). At the time, truncate_complete_page() called ClearPageUptodate(), and so this was fixing a real bug. In 2008, commit 8f0553a63f84 ("mm: dont clear PG_uptodate on truncate/invalidate") removed the call to ClearPageUptodate, and this check has been unnecessary ever since. It doesn't do any real harm, but there's no need to keep it.
