[PATCH] revert lazy readahead
From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no> The following reversion is what fixes my regression. That puts the sequential read numbers back to the 2.6.0 values of ~140MB/sec (from the current 2.6.1 values of 14MB/second)... We were triggering I/O of the `ahead' when we hit the last page in the `current' window. That's bad because it gives no pipelining at all. So go back to full pipelining. It's not at all clear why this change made a 10x difference in NFS throughput.
