[08/12] mm/readahead: Add large folio readahead

Commit Message

Matthew Wilcox Jan. 16, 2022, 12:18 p.m. UTC

Allocate large folios in the readahead code when the filesystem supports
them and it seems worth doing.  The heuristic for choosing which folio
sizes will surely need some tuning, but this aggressive ramp-up has been
good for testing.
