Hi, the patch itself seems fine. Just some questions about the scenario.

1. "start_page could be inside the folio" Is that because
.expand_readahead() called from netfs_readahead()? Since otherwise,
req-start is always aligned to the folio boundary.

2. If start_page is indeed inside the folio, then only the trailing part
of the first folio can be covered by the request, and this folio will be
marked with uptodate, though the beginning part of the folio may have
not been read from the cache. Is that expected? Or correct me if I'm wrong.
