Subject: [PATCH 0/3] reduce readahead overheads on tmpfs mmap page faults
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
List-ID: <linux-kernel.vger.kernel.org>
X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org

Andrew,

This kills unnessesary ra->mmap_miss and ra->prev_pos updates on every page
fault when the readahead is disabled.

They fix the cache line bouncing problem in the mosbench exim benchmark, which
does multi-threaded page faults on shared struct file on tmpfs.

Thanks,
Fengguang
