Matthew Wilcox 0d3f929666 page cache: Convert hole search to XArray
The page cache offers the ability to search for a miss in the previous or
next N locations.  Rather than teach the XArray about the page cache's
definition of a miss, use xas_prev() and xas_next() to search the page
array.  This should be more efficient as it does not have to start the
lookup from the top for each index.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
