Yes. I get your point in your previous feedback. Could you please
check the timing sequence in v2's commit message, where the folio_lock
failed to prevent the race from happening. I also would like to insist
that the refcnt got from alloc_pages just paired with the one which is
checked in __remove_mapping but any other folio_put. The sequence of
read_pages->readahead_folio->folio_put happens to be right when no
race and then frees the folio immediatly.
