Bisect round two lands on commit 56a4d67c264e ("mm/readahead: Switch to
page_cache_ra_order"). I'm not sure how much of a smoking gun that is
given it looks like it switches mmapped readahead over to a different
code path, but I reproduced nearly instantly as of that commit and I'm
now spinning the test against a HEAD of the immediately previous commit
(1854bc6e2420 ("mm/readahead: Align file mappings for non-DAX")) with
probably 130+ successful iterations so far. I'll let it spin a while
longer just to be sure.
