From f2e189827a914b66e435e68b1c9e37775cb995ed Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Fengguang Wu Date: Tue, 16 Oct 2007 01:24:36 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] readahead: remove the limit max_sectors_kb imposed on max_readahead_kb Remove the size limit max_sectors_kb imposed on max_readahead_kb. The size restriction is unreasonable. Especially when max_sectors_kb cannot grow larger than max_hw_sectors_kb, which can be rather small for some disk drives.
