Linus Torvalds fe27d189e3 Two folio fixes for 5.18:
- Fix a race when we were calling folio_next() in the BIO folio iter
    without holding a reference, meaning the folio could be split or freed,
    and we'd jump to the next page instead of the intended next folio.
 
  - Fix readahead creating single-page folios instead of the intended
    large folios when doing reads that are not a power of two in size.

Pull folio fixes from Matthew Wilcox:
 "Two folio fixes for 5.18.

  Darrick and Brian have done amazing work debugging the race I created
  in the folio BIO iterator. The readahead problem was deterministic, so
  easy to fix.

   - Fix a race when we were calling folio_next() in the BIO folio iter
     without holding a reference, meaning the folio could be split or
     freed, and we'd jump to the next page instead of the intended next
     folio.

   - Fix readahead creating single-page folios instead of the intended
     large folios when doing reads that are not a power of two in size"

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
