    You'd need to define "look-ahead support" before telling us you've added it ;)

    OK. But the __SetPageFoo() things still give me the creeps.


    OT: look:

    read_unlock_irq(&mapping->tree_lock);
    page = page_cache_alloc_cold(mapping);
    read_lock_irq(&mapping->tree_lock);

    we should have a page allocation function which just allocates a page from
    this CPU's per-cpu-pages magazine, and fails if the magazine is empty:

    page = alloc_pages_local(mapping_gfp_mask(x)|__GFP_COLD);
    if (!page) {
    read_unlock_irq(&mapping->tree_lock);
    /*
    * This will refill the per-cpu-pages magazine
    */
    page = page_cache_alloc_cold(mapping);
    read_lock_irq(&mapping->tree_lock);
    }
