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?
