NAME

6       page_cache_sync_readahead - generic file readahead
7

SYNOPSIS

9       void page_cache_sync_readahead(struct address_space * mapping,
10                                      struct file_ra_state * ra,
11                                      struct file * filp, pgoff_t offset,
12                                      unsigned long req_size);
13

ARGUMENTS

15       mapping
16           address_space which holds the pagecache and I/O vectors
17
18       ra
19           file_ra_state which holds the readahead state
20
21       filp
22           passed on to ->readpage and ->readpages
23
24       offset
25           start offset into mapping, in pagecache page-sized units
26
27       req_size
28           hint: total size of the read which the caller is performing in
29           pagecache pages
30

DESCRIPTION

32       page_cache_sync_readahead should be called when a cache miss happened:
33       it will submit the read. The readahead logic may decide to piggyback
34       more pages onto the read request if access patterns suggest it will
35       improve performance.
