Re: [RFC v3 0/4] vfs: Non-blockling buffered fs read (page cache only)

I haven't seen too many replies to this last request so I imagine there's not to many things to fix.. which is good to see. Additionally, with Jeff's help I wrote up man pages to be ready to go with these changes. I'm thinking of changing the preadv2 call to be a preadv6/pwritev6 call for the nex

This patcheset introduces an ability to perform a non-blocking read from regular files in buffered IO mode. This works by only for those filesystems that have data in the page cache. It does this by introducing new syscalls new syscalls preadv2/pwritev2. These new syscalls behave like the network
