From: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) Date: Wed, 24 Feb 2021 20:01:52 +0000 (-0800) Subject: mm/filemap: remove dynamically allocated array from filemap_read X-Git-Tag: accepted/tizen/unified/20230118.172025~7741^2~141 X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0c7c575df56b957390206deb018c41acbb412159;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-rpi.git mm/filemap: remove dynamically allocated array from filemap_read Increasing the batch size runs into diminishing returns. It's probably better to make, eg, three calls to filemap_get_pages() than it is to call into kmalloc().
