Hi,
When one uses do_generic_file_read to (in-kernel) read a file from the page cache one has to give a read_actor as parameter. Suppose different do_generic_file_read instances occur simultaneously, then how can a shared file_read_actor differentiate between the different do_generic_file_read instances that made a call to it? Shouldn't read_descriptor_t contain something like void *this_data; to make this possible?
I also very much could use a this_data field so my read_actor can put the data into a structure pointed to by this_data. If something for this already is present somewhere... please point me to that place in the code tree.
Please CC me; I'm not on the list.
Frank.
