## Name

do_generic_mapping_read — generic file read routine

## Synopsis

`void do_generic_mapping_read (` | struct address_space * | mapping,
| struct file_ra_state * | _ra,
| struct file * | filp,
| loff_t * | ppos,
| read_descriptor_t * | desc,
| read_actor_t | actor`)`;

## Arguments

`mapping`

  address_space to be read

`_ra`

  file's readahead state

`filp`

  the file to read

`ppos`

  current file position

`desc`

  read_descriptor

`actor`

  read method

## Description

This is a generic file read routine, and uses the mapping->a_ops->`readpage` function for the actual low-level stuff.

This is really ugly. But the goto's actually try to clarify some of the logic when it comes to error handling etc.

Note the struct file* is only passed for the use of readpage. It may be NULL.
