https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54271 --- Comment #4 from Phillip Susi <psusi@xxxxxxxxxx> 2013-02-26 00:56:25 --- Around two years back I dug into why readahead() was blocking when it wasn't supposed to and after discussion on linux-mm, it turned out to be due to ext3 using indirect blocks which had to be read first to learn the location of the data blocks before they could be queued. Switching to ext4 extents fixed that and readahead() stopped blocking. It seems there has been a regression recently so I started a thread on linux-mm to try and figure it out. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-man" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
