Other that the the system seems fine.

Why is filemap_get_pages() using unbounded readahead? Surely
readahead should be limited to reading within EOF....

I think Christoph's code is correct. IMO, any attempt to read beyond
the end of the device should throw out a warning and return an
error, not silently return zeros.

If readahead is trying to read beyond the end of the device, then it
really seems to me like the problem here is readahead, not the iomap
code detecting the OOB read request....

Cheers,

Dave.

It isn't using unbounded readahead; that's an artifact of this
incomplete stack trace. Actual call stack:

page_cache_ra_unbounded
do_page_cache_ra
ondemand_readahead
page_cache_sync_ra
page_cache_sync_readahead
filemap_get_pages

As you can see, do_page_cache_ra() does limit readahead to i_size.
Is ractl->mapping->host the correct way to find the inode? I always
get confused.

I _think_ it's been resolve now; I've rewritten my patchset (and the
patches where it's based upon) several times now, so it might be a stale
issue now.

Eagerly awaiting your patchset.
