Subject: [PATCH][RESEND] don't allow sys_readahead() on files opened with O_DIRECT
Date: Fri, 19 Aug 2005 14:44:39 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4305D437.4000703@tu-harburg.de> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 254 bytes --]

IMO sys_readahead() doesn't make sense if the file is opened with
O_DIRECT, because the page cache is stuffed but never used. Therefore
this patch changes that by letting the call return with -EINVAL.
