[PATCH RFC] mm/readahead: Fix repeat initial_readahead

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

 



From: bruzzhang <bruzzhang@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Now, if read from start of file, readahead
state will be repeatly initialized when
first time async readahead after sync one.
This case likes:

sequence read
page_cache_sync_readahead()
  --> ondemand_readahead() <-- initial ra
  --> folio ready <-- order=2, readahead flags
folio_test_readahead(folio)
filemap_readahead() <-- async readahead
 --> ondemand_readahead() <-- initial ra again

The second initialization of ra seems a
mistake, and right ra window
(start, size, async_size) should be (4,8,8)
instead of (0,4,3) after async readahead.

What's more, this patch can improve sequence
read greatly, the result of test as following:
