[PATCH 4/6] remove the limit max_sectors_kb imposed on max_readahead_kb

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Remove the size limit max_sectors_kb imposed on max_readahead_kb.

max_sectors_kb cannot grow larger than max_hw_sectors_kb, which can be
rather small for some disk drives.
