From: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm: return void from various readahead functions ondemand_readahead has two callers, neither of which use the return value. That means that both ra_submit and __do_page_cache_readahead() can return void, and we don't need to worry that a present page in the readahead window causes us to return a smaller nr_pages than we ought to have. Similarly, no caller uses the return value from force_page_cache_readahead().
