vfs: fix readahead(2) on block devices
[ Upstream commit 7116c0af4b8414b2f19fdb366eea213cbd9d91c2 ] Readahead was factored to call generic_fadvise. That refactor added an S_ISREG restriction which broke readahead on block devices. In addition to S_ISREG, this change checks S_ISBLK to fix block device readahead. There is no change in behavior with any file type besides block devices in this change. Fixes: 3d8f7615319b ("vfs: implement readahead(2) using POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED") Signed-off-by: Reuben Hawkins <reubenhwk@gmail.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231003015704.2415-1-reubenhwk@gmail.com Reviewed-by: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
