Date: Fri Jun 17 2022 - 04:38:44 EST


Commit 9eec1d897139("squashfs: provide backing_dev_info in order to
disable read-ahead") mitigates the performance drop issue for squashfs
by closing readahead for it.

This series implements readahead callback for squashfs. The previous
discussions are in [1] and [2].
