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);
		}
