Right. Or users may gets confused then. Will be fixed in the next version.

Sorry, it's my mistake when doing "git rebase". The previous version
(v8) actually calls cachefiles_ondemand_read() in cachefiles_read().
However as explained in the commit message of patch 5 ("cachefiles:
implement on-demand read"), fscache_read() can only detect if the
requested file range is fully cache miss, whilst it can't detect if it
is partial cache miss, i.e. there's a hole inside the requested file range.

Thus in this patchset (v9), we move the entry of calling
cachefiles_ondemand_read() from cachefiles_read() to
cachefiles_prepare_read(). The above "deletion of newly added code" is
actually reverting the previous change to cachefiles_read(). It was
mistakenly merged to this patch when I was doing "git rebase"...
Actually it should be merged to patch 5 ("cachefiles: implement
on-demand read"), which initially introduce the change to cachefiles_read().

Apologize for the careless mistake...
