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


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().

David

David Howells (7):
      Fix khugepaged's request size in collapse_file()
      mm: Make ondemand_readahead() take a readahead_control struct
      mm: Push readahead_control down into force_page_cache_readahead()
      mm: Pass readahead_control into page_cache_{sync,async}_readahead()
      mm: Make __do_page_cache_readahead() use rac->_nr_pages
      mm: Fold ra_submit() into do_sync_mmap_readahead()
      mm: Pass a file_ra_state struct into force_page_cache_readahead()
