[LTP] [PATCH v5] syscalls/readahead02: test readahead using posix_fadvise()

Amir Goldstein amir73il@gmail.com
Tue Dec 4 16:35:28 CET 2018


The call to posix_fadvise(POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED) should have the same
effect as the call to readahead() syscall.

Repeat the test cases for local file and overlayfs file with
posix_fadvise().
