From 13a1e1a618858407fa12c391f664ea750651f6b2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lorenzo Stoakes Date: Fri, 19 Jun 2026 12:28:51 +0100 Subject: Revert "mm: limit filemap_fault readahead to VMA boundaries" This reverts commit 7b32f64bc512b40b268776c5ac4d354b325b3197. This patch caused a significant performance regression, so revert it, and we can determine whether the approach is sensible or not moving forwards, and if so how to avoid this. There was a merge conflict with commit de97ae6222c1 ("mm/readahead: no PG_readahead on EOF"), care was taken to ensure that the revert retained the behaviour of this patch and cleanly reverts commit 7b32f64bc512 ("mm: limit filemap_fault readahead to VMA boundaries") only.
