Commit c1f6925e1091("mm: put readahead pages in cache earlier") requires
fs to implement readahead callback. Otherwise there will be a
performance regression.
Commit 9eec1d897139("squashfs: provide backing_dev_info in order to
disable read-ahead") mitigates the performance drop issue for squashfs
by closing readahead for it.
This series implements readahead callback for squashfs. The previous
discussion are in [1] and [2].
