Subject: [PATCH 3/3] mm: make PageReadahead more strict
Date: Wed, 12 Feb 2020 14:16:14 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200212221614.215302-3-minchan@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200212221614.215302-1-minchan@kernel.org>
PG_readahead flag is shared with PG_reclaim but PG_reclaim is only
used in write context while PG_readahead is used for read context.
To make it clear, let's introduce PageReadahead wrapper with
!PageWriteback so it could make code clear and we could drop
PageWriteback check in page_cache_async_readahead, which removes
pointless dropping mmap_sem.
