[RFC v2 4/5] O_NONBLOCK flag for readv2/preadv2

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

 



Filesystems that generic_file_read_iter will not be allowed to perform
non-blocking reads. This only will read data if it's in the page cache and if
there is no page error (causing a re-read).
