Patch series "Some more filemap folio conversions". Three more places which could easily be converted to folios. The third one fixes a minor bug in readahead_expand(), but it's only a performance bug and there are few users of readahead_expand(), so I don't think it's worth backporting. This patch (of 3): Save a few calls to compound_head(). We specify exactly which page from the folio to use by passing in start_pgoff, which means this will work for a folio which is larger than PMD size. The rest of the VM isn't prepared for that yet, but now this function is.

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.
