[PATCH 29/45] mm: add ksys_readahead() helper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_readahead()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Using this helper allows us to avoid the in-kernel calls to the
sys_readahead() syscall. The ksys_ prefix denotes that this function is
meant as a drop-in replacement for the syscall. In particular, it uses the
same calling convention as sys_readahead().

This patch is part of a series which tries to remove in-kernel calls to
syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.
