Zi Yan also sent me the AI-generated comments, and I don’t think this is an issue. > And I'm not sure if it has a point, in particular whether > i_size_read(mapping->host) could return 0 and underflow file_end. > > I'd assume, in that case (truncation succeeded), also the > next_uptodate_folio() would fail. Yes. If truncation has succeeded, next_uptodate_folio() cannot find a folio. If called before truncation, next_uptodate_folio() also checks i_size_read(mapping->host) and returns NULL: max_idx = DIV_ROUND_UP(i_size_read(mapping->host), PAGE_SIZE); if (xas->xa_index >= max_idx) goto unlock; So I don't think this will cause a real issue if i_size_read(mapping->host) returns 0.
