[PATCH v13 137/137] mm/readahead: Add multi-page folio readahead
From: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)
Date: Mon Jul 12 2021 - 00:20:40 EST
If the filesystem supports multi-page folios, allocate larger pages in
the readahead code when it seems worth doing. The heuristic for choosing
larger page sizes will surely need some tuning, but this aggressive
ramp-up has been good for testing.
