Collect readahead stats when CONFIG_READAHEAD_STATS=y.
This is enabled by default because the added overheads are trivial:
two readahead_stats() calls per readahead.
Example output:
(taken from a fresh booted NFS-ROOT box with rsize=16k)
$ cat /debug/readahead/stats
pattern readahead eof_hit cache_hit io sync_io mmap_io size async_size io_size
initial 524 216 26 498 498 18 7 4 4
subsequent 181 80 1 130 13 60 25 25 24
context 94 28 3 85 64 8 7 2 5
thrash 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
around 162 121 33 162 162 162 60 0 21
fadvise 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
random 137 0 0 137 137 0 1 0 1
all 1098 445 63 1012 874 0 17 6 9
The two most important columns are
- io number of readahead IO
- io_size average readahead IO size
