Folks, looks like we can simplify both the callers of read_cache_page
and function itself. Without breaking existing code.
a) all but two callers do the following:
page = read_cache_page(...);
if (IS_ERR(page))
goto fail;
wait_on_page(page);
if (!PageUptodate(page) {
page_cache_release(page);
page = ERR_PTR(-EIO);
goto fail;
}
or equivalents of that.
b) two exceptions are in NFS readdir and symlink handling resp. There we
do not call wait_on_page(). However, in both cases filler _always_ unlocks
page before returning. I.e. wait_on_page() would be a no-op - could as
well have it there.
c) after moving the wait_on_page() and check for page being not uptodate
after it into the read_cache_page() the function itself becomes simpler.
I've substituted __read_cache_page() in place of its call and did an
obvious cleanup of the result.
The bottom line: __read_cache_page() is gone, callers of read_cache_page()
dropped the waiting/handling of async errors, read_cache_page() returns
either an uptodate page or error.
Notice that read_cache_page() never was really async - only if we had a
page already in pagecache, not locked and not uptodate. BTW, if page
was _not_ in pagecache and filler got an asynchronous error we used
to cald it again. For no good reason. AFAICS patch below cleans the things
up and shouldn't break anything - code that used to work should work with
new variant. I'd definitely like to see it applied - IMO it counts as
obvious cleanup... Comments?
Cheers,
Al
