Subject: [PATCH 1/2] mm: Add readahead file operation
Some filesystems need to acquire locks before pages are read into page
cache to protect from races with hole punching. The lock generally
cannot be acquired within readpage as it ranks above page lock so we are
left with acquiring the lock within filesystem's ->read_iter
implementation for normal reads and ->fault implementation during page
faults. That however does not cover all paths how pages can be
instantiated within page cache - namely explicitely requested readahead.
Add new ->readahead file operation which filesystem can use for this.
CC: stable@...r.kernel.org # Needed by following ext4 fix
