Thanks for the review.  Yes, it should be locked in concert with the
sample of index below.

However, as I have mentioned at v6,
http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2012-08/msg00028.html
I really don't understand why page->index will be changed as those pages
returned from pagevec_lookup() should
have refcount > 0.  Hence,  those pages can not be removed out of VM
cache upon memory reclaim IMHO.
If so, both sample of index could be performed without page lock.

Thanks,
-Jeff
