the !offset check looks a pretty broken heuristic indeed, it would break random I/O. The real fix is to add a ra.prev_offset along with ra.prev_page, and if who implements it wants to be stylish he can as well use a ra.last_contiguous_read structure that has a page and offset fields (and then of course remove ra.prev_page). - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
