Subject: [PATCH 0/3] context readahead for concurrent IO take 2
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
List-ID: <linux-kernel.vger.kernel.org>

Andrew,

The context readahead patches have been floating around for a while.  Now that
Vladislav confirmed that it helps SCST IO performance, I'd like to push it for
more -mm testing outs. I believe this will help many concurrent IO workloads,
to name a few: NFS, SCST and even lighttpd.

The patchset is against linux-next, after the earlier filemap and readahead
cleanup/fix patches.

Thanks,
Fengguang
