From: Wu Fengguang Date: Tue, 16 Jun 2009 22:31:19 +0000 (-0700) Subject: readahead: make mmap_miss an unsigned int X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1ebf26a9b338534def47f307c6c8694b6dfc0a79;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git readahead: make mmap_miss an unsigned int This makes the performance impact of possible mmap_miss wrap around to be temporary and tolerable: i.e. MMAP_LOTSAMISS=100 extra readarounds. Otherwise if ever mmap_miss wraps around to negative, it takes INT_MAX cache misses to bring it back to normal state. During the time mmap readaround will be _enabled_ for whatever wild random workload. That's almost permanent performance impact.
