The patch titled readahead: compacting file_ra_state has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is readahead-compacting-file_ra_state.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: compacting file_ra_state From: Fengguang Wu <wfg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Use 'unsigned int' instead of 'unsigned long' for readahead sizes. This helps reduce memory consumption on 64bit CPU when a lot of files are opened.
