In the years since the max readahead size was fixed in NFS, a number of things have happened: - Users can now set the value directly using /sys/class/bdi - NFS max supported block sizes have increased by several orders of magnitude from 64K to 1MB. - Disk access latencies are orders of magnitude faster due to SSD + NVME. In particular note that if the server is advertising 1MB as the optimal read size, as that will set the readahead size to 15MB. Let's therefore adjust down, and try to default to VM_READAHEAD_PAGES. However let's inform the VM about our preferred block size so that it can choose to round up in cases where that makes sense.

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.
