Subject: ext4,f2fs: fix readahead of verity data
Date: Wed, 12 Oct 2022 20:34:19 +0100
The recent change of page_cache_ra_unbounded() arguments was buggy in the
two callers, causing us to readahead the wrong pages. Move the definition
of ractl down to after the index is set correctly. This affected
performance on configurations that use fs-verity.
