Also adds a void *opaque field to struct dir_context that can be
used by filesystems to temporarily store any context as this
struct gets passed around in the fs.
So the prototype is:
int dir_readahead(int fd, off64_t offset, unsigned int count);
Why do we need a new syscall for this?
$ man 2 readahead
....
ssize_t readahead(int fd, off64_t offset, size_t count);
....
EINVAL fd does not refer to a file type to which readahead() can be applied.
Cheers,
Dave.
