[PATCH v6 09/19] mm: Add page_cache_readahead_limit

Matthew Wilcox
2020-02-17T18:47:48Z

From: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@infradead.org>

ext4 and f2fs have duplicated the guts of the readahead code so
they can read past i_size. Instead, separate out the guts of the
readahead code so they can call it directly.
