Subject[PATCH 1/3] filemap: Correct the conditions for marking a folio as accessed
Date
We had an off-by-one error which meant that we never marked the first page
in a read as accessed. This was visible as a slowdown when re-reading
a file as pages were being evicted from cache too soon. In reviewing
this code, we noticed a second bug where a multi-page folio would be
marked as accessed multiple times when doing reads that were less than
the size of the folio.

Abstract the comparison of whether two file positions are in the same
folio into a new function, fixing both of these bugs.
