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. ;-)
