https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54271 Summary: readahead() docs incorrectly say it blocks Product: Documentation Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: man-pages AssignedTo: documentation_man-pages@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ReportedBy: psusi@xxxxxxxxxx Regression: No The readahead(2) man page says that it blocks until the requested data has been read. The whole point of this call is that it does NOT block but initiates background reads of data that will be required soon, so that when it is read, hopefully it can be done without blocking. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-man" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
