Subject: [PATCH 1/2] mm/readahead: Add gfp_flags to ractl
Date: Sun, 11 Jul 2021 16:09:26 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <[email protected]> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <[email protected]>
It is currently possible for an I/O request that specifies IOCB_NOWAIT
to sleep waiting for I/O to complete in order to allocate pages for
readahead. In order to fix that, we need the caller to be able to
specify the GFP flags to use for memory allocation in the rest of the
readahead path.
