[PATCH v6 04/16] mm: Tweak readahead loop slightly

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

 



From: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Eliminate the page_offset variable which was just confusing;
record the start of each consecutive run of pages in the
readahead_control, and move the 'kick off a fresh batch' code to
the end of the function for easier use in the next patch.
