I was going to send this patch:
+++ b/mm/madvise.c
@@ -1136,9 +1136,10 @@ static int madvise_inject_error(int behavior,
/*

because right now if you start in the middle of (e.g.) an order-4 folio
followed by an order-0 folio, you'll skip the order-0 folio immediately
following it.
But then I realised that we can come to this path in the middle of
a large file-backed folio that's mapped misaligned and has a COW page
in the middle, and the whole thing is just misguided. So I gave up.
Anyone want to take a crack at fixing & testing this?
