Subject: readahead: return early when readahead is disabled
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=275b12bf5486f6f531111fd3d7dbbf01df427cfe;p=linux-beck.git

readahead: return early when readahead is disabled

Reduce readahead overheads by returning early in do_sync_mmap_readahead().

tmpfs has ra_pages=0 and it can page fault really fast (not constraint by
IO if not swapping).
