Is it unreasonable? I'd say it's unreasonable to assume that all pages in all cases are likely to be cache-hot.

A useful exercise would be to go through all those pagevec_init() sites and convince ourselves that the decision at each place was the correct one. -- 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
