commite7445ceddfupstream. The previous attempt to fix for metadata read-ahead during truncate was incorrect: for files with a height > 2 (1006989312 bytes with a block size of 4096 bytes), read-ahead requests were not being issued for some of the indirect blocks discovered while walking the metadata tree, leading to significant slow-downs when deleting large files. Fix that. In addition, only issue read-ahead requests in the first pass through the meta-data tree, while deallocating data blocks.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
