Its filename is readahead-call-scheme-fix-thrashed-unaligned-read.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: readahead: call scheme: fix thrashed unaligned read From: Fengguang Wu <wfg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> When doing unaligned/subpages sequential reads, and thrashing happened, it is possible that (offset == prev_page), besides the normal (offset == prev_page + 1). We do not have such problem for the state based method.
