Subject: [PATCH 1/3] readahead: return early when readahead is disabled
Date: Tue, 26 Apr 2011 17:43:53 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110426094859.334469737@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20110426094352.030753173@intel.com

[-- Attachment #1: readahead-early-abort-mmap-around.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1556 bytes --]

Reduce readahead overheads by returning early in
do_sync_mmap_readahead().

tmpfs has ra_pages=0 and it can page fault really fast
(not constraint by IO if not swapping).
