Subject: Re: [PATCH 12/14] staging/lustre/llite: update ras window
 correctly


> From: Bobi Jam <bobijam.xu@...el.com>
> 
> When stride-RA hit case miss, we only reset normal sequential
> read-ahead window, but not reset the stride IO to avoid the overhead
> of re-detecting stride IO. While when the normal RA window is set
> to not insect with the stride-RA window, when we try to increase
> the stride-RA window length later, the presumption does not hold.
> 
> This patch resets the stride IO as well in this case.
