The pointers stored in the page cache are folios, by definition. This change comes with a behaviour change -- callers of readahead_folio() are no longer required to put the page reference themselves. This matches how readpage works, rather than matching how readpages used to work. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) <willy@infradead.org> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
For some of the things I'm looking at, this is actually inconvenient, but I guess I can take an extra ref if I need it. Reviewed-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
