Name

filemap_fault — read in file data for page fault handling

Synopsis

int filemap_fault (struct vm_area_struct *  vma,
 struct vm_fault *  vmf);

Arguments

vma

vma in which the fault was taken

vmf

struct vm_fault containing details of the fault

Description

filemap_fault is invoked via the vma operations vector for a mapped memory region to read in file data during a page fault.

The goto's are kind of ugly, but this streamlines the normal case of having it in the page cache, and handles the special cases reasonably without having a lot of duplicated code.
