From: Jens Axboe Date: Tue, 13 Dec 2016 00:43:26 +0000 (-0800) Subject: mm: don't cap request size based on read-ahead setting X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9491ae4a;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git mm: don't cap request size based on read-ahead setting We ran into a funky issue, where someone doing 256K buffered reads saw 128K requests at the device level. Turns out it is read-ahead capping the request size, since we use 128K as the default setting. This doesn't make a lot of sense - if someone is issuing 256K reads, they should see 256K reads, regardless of the read-ahead setting, if the underlying device can support a 256K read in a single command. This patch introduces a bdi hint, io_pages. This is the soft max IO size for the lower level, I've hooked it up to the bdev settings here. Read-ahead is modified to issue the maximum of the user request size, and the read-ahead max size, but capped to the max request size on the device side. The latter is done to avoid reading ahead too much, if the application asks for a huge read. With this patch, the kernel behaves like the application expects.
