Callers of find_get_pages(), or its wrapper pagevec_lookup() - notably truncate_inode_pages_range() - stop looking further when it returns 0. But if an interrupt comes just after its radix_tree_gang_lookup_slot(), especially if we have preemptible RCU enabled, isn't it conceivable that all 14 pages returned could be removed from the page cache by shrink_page_list(), before find_get_pages() gets to process them? So causing it to return 0 although there may be plenty more pages beyond. Make find_get_pages() and find_get_pages_tag() check for this unlikely case, and restart should it occur; but callers of find_get_pages_contig() have no such expectation, it's okay for that to return 0 early. I have not seen this in practice, just worried by the possibility. Signed-off-by:
