[PATCH RFC] mm: Let readahead submit larger batches of pages in case of ra->ra_pages == 0

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Bean Huo <beanhuo@xxxxxxxxxx>

Current generic_file_buffered_read() will break up the larger batches of pages
and read data in single page length in case of ra->ra_pages == 0. This patch is
to allow it to pass the batches of pages down to the device if the supported
maximum IO size >= the requested size.
