Subject: [PATCH 5.8 184/186] mm/khugepaged.c: fix khugepageds request size in collapse_file

From: David Howells <dhowells@...hat.com>

commit e5a59d308f52bb0052af5790c22173651b187465 upstream.

collapse_file() in khugepaged passes PAGE_SIZE as the number of pages to
be read to page_cache_sync_readahead().  The intent was probably to read
a single page.  Fix it to use the number of pages to the end of the
window instead.

Fixes: 99cb0dbd47a1 ("mm,thp: add read-only THP support for (non-shmem) FS")
