commit a220d6b95b1ae12c7626283d7609f0a1438e6437 upstream.
This reverts commit 7c877586da3178974a8a94577b6045a48377ff25.
Isn't that moot now with 0938b1614648d5fbd832449a5a8a1b51d985323d that in Linus's tree? It's not in 6.12 (yet?). It may be worth backporting 0938b1614 to the stable tree, but it's beyond my pay grade.
Hum, I don't think it is moot. Due to the change this commit reverts, we could have been calling page_cache_ra_unbounded() with huge nr_to_read value. I don't see how upstream commit 0938b1614648d5fb helps dealing with that...
