I don't see why it's an atomic context,
so this patch is incorrect.
Sorry, I should provide more details. page_cache_ra_unbounded() will
call filemap_invalidate_lock_shared(mapping) to ensure the integrity
of page cache during readahead, which will disable preempt.

Why a rwsem sleepable lock disable preemption?
emm, that's the original design of down_read()

No.


context should be always non-atomic context, which is applied
to all kernel filesystems.
AFAICT, filemap_fault/read have added the folios of readahead to page
cache which means the aops->readahead basically just need to map the
block to this folios and then launch the bio. The erofs is a little
bit different to others as it has to alloc_pages for decompression
when doing this.

Interesting. The whole .readahead is sleepable, including
submit block I/Os to storage.
