Subject: [PATCH v4 04/11] readahead: allocate folios with mapping_min_order in readahead

From: Pankaj Raghav <[email protected]>

page_cache_ra_unbounded() was allocating single pages (0 order folios)
if there was no folio found in an index. Allocate mapping_min_order folios
as we need to guarantee the minimum order if it is set.
When read_pages() is triggered and if a page is already present, check
for truncation and move the ractl->_index by mapping_min_nrpages if that
folio was truncated. This is done to ensure we keep the alignment
requirement while adding a folio to the page cache.

page_cache_ra_order() tries to allocate folio to the page cache with a
higher order if the index aligns with that order. Modify it so that the
order does not go below the mapping_min_order requirement of the page
cache. This function will do the right thing even if the new_order passed
is less than the mapping_min_order.
When adding new folios to the page cache we must also ensure the index
used is aligned to the mapping_min_order as the page cache requires the
index to be aligned to the order of the folio.

readahead_expand() is called from readahead aops to extend the range of
the readahead so this function can assume ractl->_index to be aligned with
min_order.

This is confusing. Uninitialised variables should go before initialised
ones. So either:

unsigned long ra_folio_index, index = readahead_index(ractl);
or
unsigned long index = readahead_index(ractl);
unsigned long ra_folio_index;

> + unsigned long i = 0, mark;

ditto
