Subject: readahead: remove the local copy of ra in do_generic_mapping_read()
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7ff81078d8b9f3d05a27b7bd3786ffb1ef1b0d1f;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

readahead: remove the local copy of ra in do_generic_mapping_read()

The local copy of ra in do_generic_mapping_read() can now go away.

It predates readanead(req_size).  In a time when the readahead code was called
on *every* single page.  Hence a local has to be made to reduce the chance of
the readahead state being overwritten by a concurrent reader.  More details
