[PATCHv4 14/43] filemap: handle huge pages in do_generic_file_read()

flat view

From: Kirill A. Shutemov <hidden>
Date: 2016-10-25 00:13:13
Also in: linux-block, linux-fsdevel, linux-mm, lkml
Subsystem: memory management, page cache, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Morton, Matthew Wilcox, Jan Kara, Linus Torvalds

Most of work happans on head page. Only when we need to do copy data to
userspace we find relevant subpage.

We are still limited by PAGE_SIZE per iteration. Lifting this limitation
would require some more work.
