Subject: [PATCH v11 02/36] mm: Make readahead store folio count in readahead_control
Date: Wed, 2 Sep 2026 18:33:14 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260902173350.3468672-3-dhowells@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260902173350.3468672-1-dhowells@redhat.com>
Make readahead store folio count in readahead_control so that the
filesystem can know in advance how many folios it needs to keep track of.
This is cleared by read_pages() in case it is called from a loop.
The count is accessed by the filesystem with readahead_folio_count().
