Subject: mm/filemap: fix page end in filemap_get_read_batch
Date: Wed, 8 Feb 2023 10:24:00 +0800

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.
