Please read do_generic_file_read(). If a page doesn't exist in the page

referenced.

So UTLK isn't wrong. It's just a little misleading.
Looks like you're correct. UTLK is based on old version of linux
kernel, so quite likely the current kernel release update the way it
does page replacement.

Like I said, it is dated :)
