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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
