This is pretty magic - this patch adds a bunch of what appear to be
random rounding operations for some undocumented reason.

Same here - this is pretty nasty - we round up twice, but no obvious
reason as to why the second round up exists or why it can't be done
by the DIV_ROUND_UP() call. Just looking at the code it's impossible
to reason why this is being done, let alone determine if it has been
implemented correctly.

Why use file->f_mapping here and not mapping? And why not just

	unsigned int min_nrpages = 1U < min_order;

So it's obvious how the index alignment is related to the folio
order?

Again, another random rounding operation....

Ok, this is begging for a new DEFINE_READAHEAD_ALIGNED() macro which
internally grabs the mapping_min_folio_nrpages() from the mapping
passed to the macro.

You didn't use mapping_min_folio_nrpages() for this.

At least initialise all the variables the same way in the same
patch!

Yup, I can't help but think that with how many times this is being
repeated in this patchset that a helper or two is in order:

	index = mapping_align_start_index(mapping, vmf->pgoff);

And then most of the calls to mapping_min_folio_order() and
mapping_min_folio_nrpages() can be removed from this code, too.

	max_index = mapping_align_end_index(mapping,
			DIV_ROUND_UP(i_size_read(inode), PAGE_SIZE));

Same again:

	max_index = mapping_align_end_index(mapping,
			DIV_ROUND_UP(i_size_read(inode), PAGE_SIZE));

And more magic rounding.

	index = mapping_align_start_index(mapping, index);
