The patch titled
mm: introduce PG_readahead
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is
mm-introduce-pg_readahead.patch
This patch was probably dropped from -mm because
it has now been merged into a subsystem tree or
into Linus's tree, or because it was folded into
its parent patch in the -mm tree.
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: mm: introduce PG_readahead
From: Wu Fengguang <wfg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Introduce a new page flag: PG_readahead.
It acts as a look-ahead mark, which tells the page reader:
Hey, it's time to invoke the adaptive read-ahead logic!
For the sake of I/O pipelining, don't wait until it runs out of
cached pages. ;-)
