Subject: [PATCH 14/14] skip readahead if the cgroup is congested
Date:   Fri, 29 Jun 2018 15:25:42 -0400

From: Josef Bacik <jbacik@fb.com>

We noticed in testing we'd get pretty bad latency stalls under heavy
pressure because read ahead would try to do its thing while the cgroup
was under severe pressure.  If we're under this much pressure we want to
do as little IO as possible so we can still make progress on real work
if we're a throttled cgroup, so just skip readahead if our group is
under pressure.
