NAME

6       read_cache_page_gfp - read into page cache, using specified page
7       allocation flags.
8

SYNOPSIS

10       struct page * read_cache_page_gfp(struct address_space * mapping,
11                                         pgoff_t index, gfp_t gfp);
12

ARGUMENTS

14       mapping
15           the page's address_space
16
17       index
18           the page index
19
20       gfp
21           the page allocator flags to use if allocating
22

DESCRIPTION

24       This is the same as “read_mapping_page(mapping, index, NULL)”, but with
25       any new page allocations done using the specified allocation flags.
26       Note that the Radix tree operations will still use GFP_KERNEL, so you
27       can't expect to do this atomically or anything like that - but you can
28       pass in other page requirements.
29
30       If the page does not get brought uptodate, return -EIO.
