Series [1/4] mm: fix an overly long line in read_cache_page | expand

Fix the callback 9p passes to read_cache_page to actually have the
proper type expected.  Casting around function pointers can easily
hide typing bugs, and defeats control flow protection.

1) You need to pass "filp" rather than "filp->private_data" to read_cache_pages()
in v9fs_fid_readpage().

The patched code passes "filp->private_data" as the "data" parameter to
read_cache_pages(), which would generate a call to:

    filler(data, page)

which would become a call to:

static int v9fs_vfs_readpage(struct file *filp, struct page *page)
{	
        return v9fs_fid_readpage(filp->private_data, page);
}

which would then effectively become:

    v9fs_fid_readpage(filp->private_data->private_data, page)

Which isn't correct; because data is a void *, no error is thrown when
v9fs_vfs_readpages treats filp->private_data as if it is filp.


2) I'd also like to see an explicit comment in do_read_cache_page() along
the lines of:

/*
 * If a custom page filler was passed in use it, otherwise use the
 * standard readpage() routine defined for the address_space.
 *
 */

3) Patch 5/4?

Otherwise it looks good.

That's a relatively common notation when an extra patch is needed to fix
something after a series has been sent ;-)

With this patch v9fs_fid_readpage takes a void pointer that must be
a FID, and we pass the FID everywhere:

 - v9fs_vfs_readpage passes filp->private_data
 - v9fs_vfs_readpages passes filp->private_data through
   read_cache_pages
 - v9fs_write_begin passes the local fid variable

Except that we don't pass v9fs_vfs_readpage as the filler any more,
we now pass v9fs_fid_readpage.

True, so never mind. :-)
