Subject: [patch 2/2] readahead nfsd case: fix uninitialized ra_min/ra_max
Date: Wed, 29 Nov 2006 19:14:18 +0800	[thread overview]

[-- Attachment #1: readahead-nfsd-case-fix-uninitialized-ra_min-ra_max.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2256 bytes --]

ra_min/ra_max are not initialized, fix it.

New benchmark numbers on

	hda: ST3250820A, ATA DISK drive
	hda: max request size: 512KiB
	hda: 488397168 sectors (250059 MB) w/8192KiB Cache, CHS=30401/255/63, UDMA(100)

with nfs mount
	mount -o tcp,rsize=$((rsize<<10)) localhost:$EXPORT $MNT

The 4 patterns tested are:
	 f: single file read
	ff: double file parallel read
	 d: single dir read
	dd: double dir parallel read
