I was running traces of the read code against an RAID storage system to understand why read requests were being misaligned against the underlying RAID strips. I found that the page end offset calculation in filemap_get_read_batch() was off by one. When a read is submitted with end offset 1048575, then it calculates the end page for read of 256 when it should be 255. "last_index" is the index of the page beyond the end of the read and it should be skipped when get a batch of pages for read in @filemap_get_read_batch(). The below simple patch fixes the problem. This code was introduced in kernel 5.12.
