Subject: [PATCH 2/3] readahead: reduce unnecessary mmap_miss increases
Date: Tue, 26 Apr 2011 17:43:54 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110426094859.463438303@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20110426094352.030753173@intel.com

[-- Attachment #1: readahead-reduce-mmap_miss-increases.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1095 bytes --]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

The original INT_MAX is too large, reduce it to

- avoid unnecessarily dirtying/bouncing the cache line
- restore mmap read-around faster on changed access pattern
