Subject: [PATCH 3.16 63/87] btrfs: start readahead also in seed devices

3.16.75-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Naohiro Aota <naohiro.aota@....com>

commit c4e0540d0ad49c8ceab06cceed1de27c4fe29f6e upstream.

Currently, btrfs does not consult seed devices to start readahead. As a
result, if readahead zone is added to the seed devices, btrfs_reada_wait()
indefinitely wait for the reada_ctl to finish.

You can reproduce the hung by modifying btrfs/163 to have larger initial
file size (e.g. xfs_io pwrite 4M instead of current 256K).

Fixes: 7414a03fbf9e ("btrfs: initial readahead code and prototypes")
