From 0f181328287db30671e9997329cff71395d4af8b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Wed, 13 May 2009 08:29:12 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Revert "Ignore madvise(MADV_WILLNEED) for hugetlbfs-backed regions" This reverts commit a425a638c858fd10370b573bde81df3ba500e271. Now that the previous commit removed the "readpage" actor for hugetlb files, read-ahead will no longer mess up the mapping, and there's no longer any reason to treat hugetlbfs mappings specially.
