Subject: [PATCH 07/10] readahead: Drop dead code in ondemand_readahead()
Date: Tue, 25 Jun 2024 12:18:57 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240625101909.12234-7-jack@suse.cz> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240625100859.15507-1-jack@suse.cz>
ondemand_readahead() scales up the readahead window if the current read
would hit the readahead mark placed by itself. However the condition
is mostly dead code because:
a) In case of async readahead we always increase ra->start so ra->start
== index is never true.
b) In case of sync readahead we either go through
try_context_readahead() in which case ra->async_size == 1 < ra->size
or we go through initial_readahead where ra->async_size == ra->size
iff ra->size == max_pages.
So the only practical effect is reducing async_size for large initial
reads. Make the code more obvious.
