Christoph Hellwig c2e4cd57cf block: lift setting the readahead size into the block layer
Drivers shouldn't really mess with the readahead size, as that is a VM
concept.  Instead set it based on the optimal I/O size by lifting the
algorithm from the md driver when registering the disk.  Also set
bdi->io_pages there as well by applying the same scheme based on
max_sectors.  To ensure the limits work well for stacking drivers a
new helper is added to update the readahead limits from the block
limits, which is also called from disk_stack_limits.

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.
