Subject: [PATCHSET v2 0/4] Submit ->readpages() IO as read-ahead
Date: Tue, 29 May 2018 16:17:23 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1527632247-23350-1-git-send-email-axboe@kernel.dk> (raw)

The only caller of ->readpages() is from read-ahead, yet we don't
submit IO flagged with REQ_RAHEAD. This means we don't see it in
blktrace, for instance, which is a shame. We already make assumptions
about ->readpages() just being for read-ahead in the mpage
implementation, using readahead_gfp_mask(mapping) as out GFP mask of
choice.

This small series fixes up mpage_readpages() to submit with
REQ_RAHEAD, which takes care of file systems using mpage_readpages().
The first patch is a prep patch, that makes do_mpage_readpage() take
an argument structure.

Changes since v1:

- Fix ext4_mpage_readpages() also being used for regular reads
- Add prep patch with struct arguments for do_mpage_readpage()
