## Name

page_cache_async_readahead — file readahead for marked pages

## Synopsis

`void page_cache_async_readahead (` | struct address_space * mapping,
| struct file_ra_state * ra,
| struct file * filp,
| struct page * page,
| pgoff_t offset,
| unsigned long req_size`)`;

## Arguments

`mapping`

  address_space which holds the pagecache and I/O vectors

`ra`

  file_ra_state which holds the readahead state

`filp`

  passed on to ->`readpage` and ->`readpages`

`page`

  the page at `offset` which has the PG_readahead flag set

`offset`

  start offset into `mapping`, in pagecache page-sized units

`req_size`

  hint: total size of the read which the caller is performing in pagecache pages

## Description

`page_cache_async_readahead` should be called when a page is used which has the PG_readahead flag; this is a marker to suggest that the application has used up enough of the readahead window that we should start pulling in more pages.
