Subject: readahead() blocks until the specified data has been read ?
Date: Fri, 4 Nov 2011 14:39:55 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAC8teKXWTSAMvregJX5U6pZF8kMp=W8y3LO2ppu72A0jTQ6mpg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hi all,
In the man page for man 2 readahead, it reads "readahead() blocks
until the specified data has been read"
(http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/online/pages/man2/readahead.2.html),
however obviously readahead() doesn't work like this, as it's not a
synchronous IO submitter. Is the man-page out-of-dated?
Thanks,
Zhu Yanhai
