ra_alloc_folio() marks a page that should trigger next round of async
readahead.  However it rounds up computed index to the order of page being
allocated.  This can however lead to multiple consecutive pages being
marked with readahead flag.  Consider situation with index == 1, mark ==
1, order == 0.  We insert order 0 page at index 1 and mark it.  Then we
bump order to 1, index to 2, mark (still == 1) is rounded up to 2 so page
at index 2 is marked as well.  Then we bump order to 2, index is
incremented to 4, mark gets rounded to 4 so page at index 4 is marked as
well.  The fact that multiple pages get marked within a single readahead
window confuses the readahead logic and results in readahead window being
trimmed back to 1.  This situation is triggered in particular when maximum
readahead window size is not a power of two (in the observed case it was
768 KB) and as a result sequential read throughput suffers.

Fix the problem by rounding 'mark' down instead of up.  Because the index
is naturally aligned to 'order', we are guaranteed 'rounded mark' == index
iff 'mark' is within the page we are allocating at 'index' and thus
exactly one page is marked with readahead flag as required by the
readahead code and sequential read performance is restored.

This effectively reverts part of commit b9ff43dd2743 ("mm/readahead: Fix
readahead with large folios").  The commit changed the rounding with the
rationale:

"...  we were setting the readahead flag on the folio which contains the
last byte read from the block.  This is wrong because we will trigger
readahead at the end of the read without waiting to see if a subsequent
read is going to use the pages we just read."

Although this is true, the fact is this was always the case with read
sizes not aligned to folio boundaries and large folios in the page cache
just make the situation more obvious (and frequent).  Also for sequential
read workloads it is better to trigger the readahead earlier rather than
later.  It is true that the difference in the rounding and thus earlier
triggering of the readahead can result in reading more for semi-random
workloads.  However workloads really suffering from this seem to be rare. 
In particular I have verified that the workload described in commit
b9ff43dd2743 ("mm/readahead: Fix readahead with large folios") of reading
random 100k blocks from a file like:

[reader]
bs=100k
rw=randread
numjobs=1
size=64g
runtime=60s

is not impacted by the rounding change and achieves ~70MB/s in both cases.

<title>mm/readahead: do not allow order-1 folio</title>

The THP machinery does not support order-1 folios because it requires meta
data spanning the first 3 `struct page`s.  So order-2 is the smallest
large folio that we can safely create.

There was a theoretical bug whereby if ra-&gt;size was 2 or 3 pages (due to
the device-specific bdi-&gt;ra_pages being set that way), we could end up
with order = 1.  Fix this by unconditionally checking if the preferred
order is 1 and if so, set it to 0.  Previously this was done in a few
specific places, but with this refactoring it is done just once,
unconditionally, at the end of the calculation.

This is a theoretical bug found during review of the code; I have no
evidence to suggest this manifests in the real world (I expect all
device-specific ra_pages values are much bigger than 3).

Readahead was factored to call generic_fadvise.  That refactor added an
S_ISREG restriction which broke readahead on block devices.

In addition to S_ISREG, this change checks S_ISBLK to fix block device
readahead.  There is no change in behavior with any file type besides block
devices in this change.

order in the FGP flags.  This is only honoured in the FGP_CREATE path;
if there is already a folio in the page cache that covers the index,
we will return it, no matter what its order is.  No create-around is
attempted; we will only create folios which start at the specified index.
Unmodified callers will continue to allocate order 0 folios.

<title>mm: add PSI accounting around -&gt;read_folio and -&gt;readahead calls</title>

PSI tries to account for the cost of bringing back in pages discarded by
the MM LRU management.  Currently the prime place for that is hooked into
the bio submission path, which is a rather bad place:

 - it does not actually account I/O for non-block file systems, of which
   we have many
 - it adds overhead and a layering violation to the block layer

Add the accounting into the two places in the core MM code that read
pages into an address space by calling into -&gt;read_folio and -&gt;readahead
so that the entire file system operations are covered, to broaden
the coverage and allow removing the accounting in the block layer going
forward.

As psi_memstall_enter can deal with nested calls this will not lead to
double accounting even while the bio annotations are still present.

Commit 793917d997df ("mm/readahead: Add large folio readahead")
introduced support for using large folios for filebacked pages if the
filesystem supports it.

page_cache_ra_order() was introduced to allocate and add these large
folios to the page cache. However adding pages to the page cache should
be serialized against truncation and hole punching by taking
invalidate_lock. Not doing so can lead to data races resulting in stale
data getting added to the page cache and marked up-to-date. See commit
730633f0b7f9 ("mm: Protect operations adding pages to page cache with
invalidate_lock") for more details.

This issue was found by inspection but a testcase revealed it was
possible to observe in practice on XFS. Fix this by taking
invalidate_lock in page_cache_ra_order(), to mirror what is done for the
non-thp case in page_cache_ra_unbounded().

We must hold a reference over the call to filemap_release_folio(),
otherwise the page cache will put the last reference to the folio
before we unlock it, leading to splats like this:

It's an error path, so it doesn't see much testing.

We must hold a reference over the call to filemap_release_folio(),
otherwise the page cache will put the last reference to the folio
before we unlock it, leading to splats like this:

Pull RISC-V updates from Palmer Dabbelt:

 - Support for the Svpbmt extension, which allows memory attributes to
   be encoded in pages

 - Support for the Allwinner D1's implementation of page-based memory
   attributes

 - Support for running rv32 binaries on rv64 systems, via the compat
   subsystem

 - Support for kexec_file()

 - Support for the new generic ticket-based spinlocks, which allows us
   to also move to qrwlock. These should have already gone in through
   the asm-geneic tree as well

 - A handful of cleanups and fixes, include some larger ones around
   atomics and XIP
