[RFC PATCH 0/1] FUSE: allow drivers to increase readahead.

From: Kevin Vigor
Date: Wed Mar 02 2022 - 12:18:43 EST


Summary:

Allow FUSE drivers to increase readahead setting.

Details:

FUSE drivers can set a max_readahead value in the fuse_init_out value.

However, this value can currently only decrease the readahead setting
from the default, which is set to VM_READAHEAD_PAGES in bdi_alloc().

Add a flag which causes the kernel driver to accept whatever
max_readahead value the user provides in fuse_init_out. Note that
read_ahead_kb_store() similarly allows users to set arbitrary ra_pages
values.

Kevin Vigor (1):
FUSE: Add FUSE_TRUST_MAX_RA flag enabling readahead settings >128KB.
