Subject: [PATCH 3/3] mm/readahead: try to allocate high order pages for FADVISE_FAV_WILLNEED
Date: Tue, 2 Dec 2025 01:30:13 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251202013212.964298-4-jaegeuk@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251202013212.964298-1-jaegeuk@kernel.org>
This patch assigns the max folio order for readahead. After applying this patch,
it starts with high-order page allocation successfully as shown in the below
traces.
