how to prep a wall with paint chipped to the concrete

Im painting the hallway of a 100+ year brick cottage. 

 

I've gone to chip off flakey paint and it's come off in large shards. It appears to be several layers of paint together and well over a meter. 

What's exposed now Looks like concrete. 

 

My goal is to repaint the room. I've got dulux 1 step primer and wash and wear. 

 

However somethings telling me that spakfilla isn't right for an area this big.  how to seal/smooth/otherwise prep this to paint?
