Subject: mm/filemap: reduce unnecessary xarray lookups in filemap_get_folios_contig()
Date: Sat, 20 Jun 2026 14:24:46 +0800
Apply the same optimization used in filemap_get_read_batch() by moving the
boundary check from the loop condition to before xas_next(), avoiding an
unnecessary xarray lookup and reducing branches in the fast path.
