By reducing nr_to_read, we can eliminate this check from inside the loop.

This tiny patch made me pause, because I wasn't sure at first of the exact
intent of the lines above. Once I worked it out, it seemed like it might
be helpful (or overkill??) to add a few hints for the reader, especially since
there are no hints in the function's (minimal) documentation header. What
do you think of this?

	/*
	 * If we can't read *any* pages without going past the inodes's isize
	 * limit, give up entirely:
	 */
	if (index > end_index)
		return;

	/* Cap nr_to_read, in order to avoid overflowing the ULONG type: */
	if (index + nr_to_read < index)
		nr_to_read = ULONG_MAX - index + 1;

	/* Cap nr_to_read, to avoid reading past the inode's isize limit: */
	if (index + nr_to_read >= end_index)
		nr_to_read = end_index - index + 1;


Either way, it looks corrected written to me, so:

A little verbose for my taste ... How about this?

        end_index = (isize - 1) >> PAGE_SHIFT;
        if (index > end_index)
                return;
        /* Avoid wrapping to the beginning of the file */
        if (index + nr_to_read < index)
                nr_to_read = ULONG_MAX - index + 1;
        /* Don't read past the page containing the last byte of the file */
        if (index + nr_to_read >= end_index)
                nr_to_read = end_index - index + 1;

Mine too, actually. :)  I think your version below looks good.
