Hmmm. The intention was that the start pointer should be able to be moved backwards by the cache - but that's not necessary in ->prepare_read() and ->expand_readahead() is provided for that now. So yes, the start pointer shouldn't get changed at this point. > I'd also reverse the position of the arguments for _flags and i_size. > Otherwise, the CPU/compiler have to shuffle things around more in > cachefiles_prepare_ondemand_read before they call this. Better to pass the flags in and then ignore them. That way it can tail call, or just call cachefiles_do_prepare_read() directly from erofs. If you're going to have a wrapper, then you might be just as well create a netfs_io_subrequest struct on the stack.
