Subject: [PATCH v11 14/25] mm: Document why we don't set PageReadahead
Date: Tue, 14 Apr 2020 08:02:22 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200414150233.24495-15-willy@infradead.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200414150233.24495-1-willy@infradead.org>
From: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@infradead.org>
If the page is already in cache, we don't set PageReadahead on it.
