Thanks for your patch, which is now commit 3ca236440126f75c ("mm:
Implement readahead_control pageset expansion") upstream.

TBH, this help text didn't give me any clue on whether I want to enable
this config option or not.  Do I need it for e.g. NFS, which is a
network filesystem?

I see later patches make AFS and FSCACHE select NETFS_SUPPORT.  If this
is just a library of functions, to be selected by its users, then please
make the symbol invisible.

Thanks!

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
