So afaik, the default read-ahead size is 128kB, which is actually
smaller than the old 512-page limit.
Which means that you probably changed "ra_pages" somehow. Is it some
system tool that does that automatically, and if so based on what,
exactly?
I'm also slightly worried about the fact that now the max read-ahead
may actually be zero, and/or basically infinite (there's a ioctl to
set it that only tests that it's not negative). Does everything react
ok to that?
