Andrew, It seems there are no strong objections against the 512KB readahead size. (Or, anyone would prefer an 1MB readahead? Chris Mason picked a 4MB size for btrfs after all.) So would you include the patchset for wider tests in -mm? I reordered the patchset a bit: the first 2 patches are good candidates for 2.6.34, while the others may need longer tests. Changes since RFC: - move the lenthy intro text to individual patch changelogs - treat get_capacity()==0 as uninitilized value (Thanks to Vivek Goyal) - increase readahead size limit for small devices (Thanks to Jens Axboe) - add fio test results by Vivek Goyal [PATCH 01/11] readahead: limit readahead size for small devices [PATCH 02/11] readahead: retain inactive lru pages to be accessed soon [PATCH 03/11] readahead: bump up the default readahead size [PATCH 04/11] readahead: introduce {MAX|MIN}_READAHEAD_PAGES macros for ease of use [PATCH 05/11] readahead: replace ra->mmap_miss with ra->ra_flags [PATCH 06/11] readahead: thrashing safe context readahead [PATCH 07/11] readahead: record readahead patterns [PATCH 08/11] readahead: add tracing event [PATCH 09/11] readahead: add /debug/readahead/stats [PATCH 10/11] readahead: dont do start-of-file readahead after lseek() [PATCH 11/11] radixtree: speed up next/prev hole search Thanks, Fengguang -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
