Likely we should also make that clearer in the subject. mm/readahead: allow exceeding configured read_ahead_kb with MADV_HUGEPAGE If this is really a fix, especially one that deserves CC-stable, I cannot tell.

I would assume that it would get ignored, but ... ... staring at get_next_ra_size(), it's not quite ignored, because we still us it as a baseline to detect how much we want to bump up the limit when the requested size is small?

"a large folio" -> "with MADV_HUGEPAGE" ? Or can this be hit on different paths that are not covered in the patch description? -- Cheers, David / dhildenb
