mm/readahead.c/read_pages was quite a bit different back
when I put my open-coded readahead logic into orangefs_readpage.
It seemed to work as designed then, it is a trainwreck now.
This patch implements orangefs_readahead using new xarray
and readahead_expand features that have just been pulled and
removes all my open-coded readahead logic.
This patch results in an extreme read performance improvement,
these sample numbers are from my test VM:
Here's an example of what's upstream in
5.11.8-200.fc33.x86_64:
30+0 records in
30+0 records out
125829120 bytes (126 MB, 120 MiB) copied, 5.77943 s, 21.8 MB/s
And here's this version of orangefs_readahead on top of
5.12.0-rc4:
30+0 records in
30+0 records out
125829120 bytes (126 MB, 120 MiB) copied, 0.325919 s, 386 MB/s
There are four xfstest regressions with this patch. David Howells
and Matthew Wilcox have been helping me work with this code. One
of the regressions has gone away with the most recent version of
their code that I'm using. I hope this patch can be
pulled even though there are still a few regressions, and that
we can try to get them resolved during the RC period.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
