NAME
page_cache_sync_readahead - generic file readahead
SYNOPSIS
void page_cache_sync_readahead(struct address_space * mapping, struct file_ra_state * ra, struct file * filp, pgoff_t offset, unsigned long req_size);
ARGUMENTS
mapping address_space which holds the pagecache and I/O vectors ra file_ra_state which holds the readahead state filp passed on to ->readpage and ->readpages offset start offset into mapping, in pagecache page-sized units req_size hint: total size of the read which the caller is performing in pagecache pages
DESCRIPTION
page_cache_sync_readahead should be called when a cache miss happened: it will submit the read. The readahead logic may decide to piggyback more pages onto the read request if access patterns suggest it will improve performance.
