mm: fix filemap_get_folios_contig returning batches of identical folios
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit 8ab1b16 upstream.

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().
