Provide a function, readahead_expand(), that expands the set of pages specified by a readahead_control object to encompass a revised area with a proposed size and length. The proposed area must include all of the old area and may be expanded yet more by this function so that the edges align on (transparent huge) page boundaries as allocated. The expansion will be cut short if a page already exists in either of the areas being expanded into. Note that any expansion made in such a case is not rolled back. This will be used by fscache so that reads can be expanded to cache granule boundaries, thereby allowing whole granules to be stored in the cache, but there are other potential users also. Changes: v6: - Fold in a patch from Matthew Wilcox to tell the ondemand readahead algorithm about the expansion so that the next readahead starts at the right place[2]. v4: - Moved the declaration of readahead_expand() to a better place[1].
