And if we rearrange things slightly, we end up with:

        /* page is wholly inside EOF */
        if (page->index < index)
                return PAGE_SIZE;
        /* page is wholly past EOF */
        if (page->index > index || !offset)
                return -EFAULT;
        /* page is partially inside EOF */
        return offset;

Thanks,
