- Enlarge VM_MAX_READAHEAD to 1024 if new read-ahead code is compiled in.
This value is no longer tightly coupled with the thrashing problem,
therefore constrained by it. The adaptive read-ahead logic merely takes
it as an upper bound, and will not stick to it under memory pressure.
- Slightly enlarge minimal/initial read-ahead size on big memory systems.
Memory bounty systems are less likely to suffer from thrashing on small
read-ahead sizes. A bigger initial value helps speed up the ra_size
growing progress.
