Subject: [PATCH 06/28] readahead: insert cond_resched() calls
Date: Wed, 15 Nov 2006 15:50:13 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <363577022.21912@ustc.edu.cn> (raw)
Message-ID: <20061115075026.121499794@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20061115075007.832957580@localhost.localdomain

[-- Attachment #1: readahead-insert-cond_resched-calls.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1983 bytes --]

Since the VM_MAX_READAHEAD is greatly enlarged and the algorithm more
complex, it becomes necessary to insert some cond_resched() calls in
the read-ahead path.

If desktop users still feel audio jitters with the new read-ahead code,
please try one of the following ways to get rid of it:

1) compile kernel with CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY/CONFIG_PREEMPT
2) reduce the read-ahead request size by running
	blockdev --setra 256 /dev/hda # or whatever device you are using
