Subject: [PATCH v7 23/24] mm: Document why we don't set PageReadahead
Date: Wed, 19 Feb 2020 13:01:02 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200219210103.32400-24-willy@infradead.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200219210103.32400-1-willy@infradead.org>
From: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@infradead.org>
If the page is already in cache, we don't set PageReadahead on it.
