Subject: [PATCH] direct-io: remove random prefetches
Git-commit: c22198e78d523c8fa079bbb70b2523bb6aa51849
Patch-mainline: v5.19-rc1
References: jsc#PED-1183

Randomly poking into block device internals for manual prefetches isn't
exactly a very maintainable thing to do.  And none of the performance
critical direct I/O implementations still use this library function
anyway, so just drop it.
