PAGE_CACHE_SYNC_READ(9)	  Memory Management in Linux   PAGE_CACHE_SYNC_READ(9)

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.
