[PATCH] readahead: Correct the start and size in ondemand_readahead()

From: Yin Fengwei
Date: Tue Jun 27 2023 - 01:07:20 EST


The commit
9425c591e06a ("page cache: fix page_cache_next/prev_miss off by one")
updated the page_cache_next_miss() to return the index beyond
range.

But it breaks the start/size of ra in ondemand_readahead() because
the offset by one is accumulated to readahead_index. As a consequence,
not best readahead order is picked.

Tracing of the order parameter of filemap_alloc_folio() showed:
page order : count distribution
0 : 892073 | |
1 : 0 | |
2 : 65120457 |****************************************|
3 : 32914005 |******************** |
4 : 33020991 |******************** |
with 9425c591e06a9.

With parent commit:
page order : count distribution
0 : 3417288 |**** |
1 : 0 | |
2 : 877012 |* |
3 : 288 | |
4 : 5607522 |******* |
5 : 29974228 |****************************************|

Fix the issue by set correct start/size of ra in ondemand_readahead().
