Patch series "Submit ->readpages() IO as read-ahead", v4. The only caller of ->readpages() is from read-ahead, yet we don't submit IO flagged with REQ_RAHEAD. This means we don't see it in blktrace, for instance, which is a shame. Additionally, it's preventing further functional changes in the block layer for deadling with read-ahead more intelligently. We already make assumptions about ->readpages() just being for read-ahead in the mpage implementation, using readahead_gfp_mask(mapping) as out GFP mask of choice. This small series fixes up mpage_readpages() to submit with REQ_RAHEAD, which takes care of file systems using mpage_readpages(). The first patch is a prep patch, that makes do_mpage_readpage() take an argument structure. This patch (of 4): We're currently passing 8 arguments to this function, clean it up a bit by packing the arguments in an args structure we pass to it. No intentional functional changes in this patch.
