[LTP] [bug report] readahead02: readahead hardcoded bytes limit

[Lorenzo Pieralisi]

Hi,

following kernel commit:

commit 600e19afc5f8a6 ("mm: use only per-device readahead limit")

LTP readahead02 test produces warnings such as:

readahead02    0  TINFO  :  creating test file of size: 67108864#
readahead02 (1698): drop_caches: 1#

readahead02    0  TWARN  :  readahead02.c:323: using less cache than expected

It is caused by the hardcoded 2MB readahead02 limit used to issue
the readahead syscall, the kernel now caps the number of pages
using the per-device readahead limit, so the readahead count parameter
should be updated accordingly.

There are multiple ways to fix it, simplest is reading the bdi backing
the testfile and use its readahead limit as readahead syscall count
parameter.

Please consider updating the test.

Thanks,
Lorenzo
