Hello All, I want to find out the difference between generic_file_read and do_sync_read. The thing I have got upto now is that generic_file_read uses the page cache for doing read therefore we must implement readpage function with generic_file_read. On the other hand do_sync_read uses aio_read function for doing read. I want a little bit explanation about the difference b/w these two. Thanks, Uzair Lakhani, Karachi, Pakistan. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
