Good idea. Also while I'm here is there a reason we don't update
ra->start or mmap_miss for the VM_HUGEPAGE case?

Right, afaik filemap_invalidate_lock_shared() is needed when
instantiating pages in the page cache during fault, which this patch
does via page_cache_ra_order() in do_sync_mmap_readahead() so I think
you're right about removing it for filemap_get_folio().

However do_sync_mmap_readahead() is the way normal (ie. !VM_RAND_READ)
pages would get instantiated today. So shouldn't
filemap_invalidate_lock_shared() be called before
do_sync_mmap_readahead() anyway? Or am I missing something?

Good point, thanks for catching that.
