Eliminate the page_offset variable which was confusing with the
'offset' parameter and record the start of each consecutive run of
pages in the readahead_control.

Looks ok, but having the readahead dispatch out of line from the
case that triggers it makes it hard to follow.

Cheers,

Dave.

...presumably for the benefit of a subsequent patch, since it's not
consumed in this patch.

Thanks for breaking these up, btw, it really helps.

OK, this is still something I want to mention (I wrote the same thing when reviewing 
the wrong version of this patch, a moment ago).

You know...this ends up incrementing offset each time through the
loop, so yes, the behavior is the same as when using "offset + page_idx".
However, now it's a little harder to see that.

IMHO the page_offset variable is not actually a bad thing, here. I'd rather
keep it, all other things being equal (and I don't see any other benefits
here: line count is about the same, for example).

What do you think? (I don't feel strongly about this fine point.)


thanks,
