Author: jhb Date: Tue Aug 28 18:44:56 2012 New Revision: 239787 URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/239787 Log: MFC 230782,237274: Refine the implementation of POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE to perform POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED requests on the currently accessed portion of the file on each read(2) or write(2) rather than using direct I/O. This gives much better performance including read-ahead and write clustering similar to normal read(2) and write(2) calls. If subsequent read(2) and write(2) calls are sequential, then the POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED requests will cover the entire sequentially-accessed range.
