[RFC PATCH 0/7] mm: Make more use of readahead_control

From: David Howells
Date: Tue Sep 01 2020 - 12:28:29 EST



Hi Willy,

Here's a set of patches to expand the use of the readahead_control struct,
essentially from do_sync_mmap_readahead() down. Note that I've been
passing the number of pages to read in rac->_nr_pages, and then saving it
and changing it certain points, e.g. page_cache_readahead_unbounded().

Also pass file_ra_state into force_page_cache_readahead().

Also there's an apparent minor bug in khugepaged.c that I've included a
patch for: page_cache_sync_readahead() looks to be given the wrong size in
collapse_file().
