I would say minimum rather than average. That will become the refault
time of the entire page, so minimum would probably have us making better
decisions?

Just FYI, this can't happen. You're holding the tree lock so nobody
else gets to remove things from the tree. radix_tree_for_each_slot()
only gives you the full slots; it skips the empty ones for you. I'm
OK if you want to leave it in out of an abundance of caution.

I may add an update_node argument to radix_tree_join at some point,
so you can use it here. Or maybe we don't need to do that, and what
you have here works just fine.

... because adjusting the exceptional count is going to be a pain.

A lesser man would have just ignored the return value from
__radix_tree_insert. I salute you.

If the filesystem returns AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE, you'll go round this loop
again trying the huge page again, even if the huge page didn't work
the first time. I would tend to think that if the huge page failed the
first time, we shouldn't try it again, so I propose this:
struct address_space *mapping = file->f_mapping;
struct page *page;
pgoff_t index;
int ret;
bool try_huge = true;
do {
if (try_huge) {
page = page_cache_alloc_huge(gfp_mask|__GFP_COLD);
if (page)
index = round_down(offset, HPAGE_PMD_NR);
else
try_huge = false;
}
if (!try_huge) {
page = __page_cache_alloc(gfp_mask|__GFP_COLD);
index = offset;
}
if (!page)
return -ENOMEM;
ret = add_to_page_cache_lru(page, mapping, index,
gfp_mask & GFP_KERNEL);
if (ret < 0) {
if (try_huge) {
try_huge = false;
ret = AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE;
} else if (ret == -EEXIST)
ret = 0; /* losing race to add is OK */
} else {
ret = mapping->a_ops->readpage(file, page);
}
put_page(page);
} while (ret == AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE);
But ... maybe it's OK to retry the huge page. I mean, not many
filesystems return AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE, and they only do so rarely.
Anyway, I'm fine with the patch going in as-is. I just wanted to type out
my review notes.
