[RFC PATCH] mm : using bdi->ra_pages instead of ra->ra_pages within readahead

From: Zhaoyang Huang
Date: Thu Aug 13 2020 - 04:11:35 EST


file->f_ra->ra_pages will remain the initialized value since it opend, which may
be NOT equal to bdi->ra_pages as the latter one is updated somehow(etc,
echo xxx > /sys/block/dm/queue/read_ahead_kb).So having readahead use
bdi->ra_pages.
