[PATCH v5 05/13] mm: Add page_cache_readahead_limit

From: Matthew Wilcox
Date: Mon Feb 10 2020 - 20:04:06 EST


From: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

ext4 and f2fs have duplicated the guts of the readahead code so
they can read past i_size. Instead, separate out the guts of the
readahead code so they can call it directly.
