SubjectRe: [PATCH v3 0/2] generic_file_buffered_read() refactoring & optimization
After looking at v2 yesterday I noticed I few things in the structure
that I really didn't like:

- using a struct page * return value just to communicate status codes
- the extremely long function names
- a generally somewhat non-intuitive split of the helpers

I then hacked on top of it for a bit while sitting in a telephone
conference. Below is my result, which passes a quick xfstests run.
Note that this includes the refactoring and the batch lookup changes
as I did it on top of your series:
