So this assumes a contiguous page range is returned, right?

Ok, yes it does. :)

I don't see how readahead_for_each_batch() guarantees that, though.

Shouldn't that just be

	if (bio)
		submit_one_bio(bio, 0, bio_flags);

Confusing when put alongside rac->_batch_count counting the number
of pages in the batch, and "batch" being the index into the page
array, and they aren't the same counts....

That just iterates pages in the start,end doesn't it? What
guarantees that this fills the array with a contiguous page range?

What on earth does this do? Comments please!

Seems a bit big for an inline function.

I had to go look at the caller to work out what "size" refered to
here.

This is complex enough that it needs proper API documentation.

Cheers,
