Subject: [PATCH 4/5] merge-ll: use read_mmfile() to read external merge results
Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2026 02:54:42 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260929065442.GD1697497@coredump.intra.peff.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260929064935.GA1276867@coredump.intra.peff.net>

After running an external merge driver, ll_ext_merge() reads the result
back from a temporary file. We can do the same thing with much less code
by using read_mmfile().

As a bonus, note that read_mmfile() correctly uses xsize_t() to detect
the case when we'd truncate the result.
