From d8733c2956968a01394a4d2a9e97a8b431a78776 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Morton Date: Thu, 23 Mar 2006 03:00:11 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] ext3_readdir: use generic readahead Linus points out that ext3_readdir's readahead only cuts in when ext3_readdir() is operating at the very start of the directory. So for large directories we end up performing no readahead at all and we suck. So take it all out and use the core VM's page_cache_readahead(). This means that ext3 directory reads will use all of readahead's dynamic sizing goop. Note that we're using the directory's filp->f_ra to hold the readahead state, but readahead is actually being performed against the underlying blockdev's address_space. Fortunately the readahead code is all set up to handle this. Tested with printk. It works. I was struggling to find a real workload which actually cared. (The patch also exports page_cache_readahead() to GPL modules) Cc: "Stephen C.
