[PATCH 3/9] readahead: auto detection of sequential mmap reads

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

 



Auto-detect sequential mmap reads and do sync/async readahead for them.

The sequential mmap readahead will be triggered when
- sync readahead: it's a major fault and (prev_offset==offset-1);
- async readahead: minor fault on PG_readahead page with valid readahead state.

It's a bit conservative to require valid readahead state for async readahead,
which means we don't do readahead for interleaved reads for now, but let's make
it safe for this initial try.
