[PATCH 1/4] Cleanup read_pages()

From: OGAWA Hirofumi
Date: Mon Oct 30 2006 - 15:04:21 EST


Current read_pages() assume ->readpages() frees the passed pages.

This patch free the pages in ->read_pages(), if those were remaining
in the pages_list. So, readpages() just can ignore the remaining
pages in pages_list.
