Subject: [PATCH 14/15] readahead: reduce MMAP_LOTSAMISS for mmap read-around
Date: Wed, 24 Feb 2010 11:10:15 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100224031055.594006457@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100224031001.026464755@intel.com>

[-- Attachment #1: readahead-mmap-around.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1099 bytes --]

Now that we lifts readahead size from 128KB to 512KB,
the MMAP_LOTSAMISS shall be shrinked accordingly.

We shrink it a bit more, so that for sparse random access patterns,
only 10*512KB or ~5MB memory will be wasted, instead of the previous
100*128KB or ~12MB. The new threshold "10" is still big enough to avoid
turning off read-around for typical executable/lib page faults.
