I've tweaked your text a bit to make some details clearer (I hope): readahead() initiates readahead on a file so that subsequent reads from that file will, be satisfied from the cache, and not block on disk I/O (assuming the readahead was initiated early enough and that other activity on the system did not in the meantime flush pages from the cache).Slight grammatical error there: there's an extra comma in "file will, be".
Thanks. Fixed. Otherwise okay, I assume? -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org. For more info on Linux MM, see: http://www.linux-mm.org/ . Don't email: <a href=mailto:"dont@kvack.org"> email@kvack.org </a>
