From d77c2d7cc5126639a47d73300b40d461f2811a0f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Fengguang Wu <wfg@mail.ustc.edu.cn> Date: Thu, 19 Jul 2007 01:47:55 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] readahead: introduce PG_readahead Introduce a new page flag: PG_readahead. It acts as a look-ahead mark, which tells the page reader: Hey, it's time to invoke the read-ahead logic. For the sake of I/O pipelining, don't wait until it runs out of cached pages!
