[PATCH] readahead: Use folio_nr_pages() instead of shift operation
Posted by Chi Zhiling 7 months ago 
From: Chi Zhiling <chizhiling@kylinos.cn>

folio_nr_pages() is faster helper function to get the number of pages
when NR_PAGES_IN_LARGE_FOLIO is enabled.

This should probably get squashed in Ryans commit?

LGTM

"Ryans commit" is now c4602f9fa77f ("mm/readahead: store folio order in
struct file_ra_state") in mm-stable.  I'd prefer not to rebase for this!

Yeah, in that case, obviously no rebase :)

Sorry about that... the function was previously using foilio_order() and storing
in a local variable and using it in 2 places, one of which was "1UL << order".
Because the other user went away I just moved the folio_order() call inline. But
agree folio_nr_pages() is better. FWIW:
