From e7c8b35e486775af65636a2a2b2766c3def9a8e8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Mon, 12 Dec 2016 16:43:26 -0800 Subject: UPSTREAM: mm: don't cap request size based on read-ahead setting We ran into a funky issue, where someone doing 256K buffered reads saw 128K requests at the device level. Turns out it is read-ahead capping the request size, since we use 128K as the default setting. This doesn't make a lot of sense - if someone is issuing 256K reads, they should see 256K reads, regardless of the read-ahead setting, if the underlying device can support a 256K read in a single command. This patch introduces a bdi hint, io_pages. This is the soft max IO size for the lower level, I've hooked it up to the bdev settings here. Read-ahead is modified to issue the maximum of the user request size, and the read-ahead max size, but capped to the max request size on the device side. The latter is done to avoid reading ahead too much, if the application asks for a huge read. With this patch, the kernel behaves like the application expects.

Rework so that wb_put have an extra check if wb->bdi before decrement wb->refcnt and also add a WARN_ON_ONCE to get a warning if it happens again in other drivers.
