      nfs: remove redundant tests on reading new pages · 136221fc
      Wu Fengguang authored
      aops->readpages() and its NFS helper readpage_async_filler() will only
      be called to do readahead I/O for newly allocated pages. So it's not
      necessary to test for the always 0 dirty/uptodate page flags.
      
      The removal of nfs_wb_page() call also fixes a readahead bug: the NFS
      readahead has been synchronous since 2.6.23, because that call will
      clear PG_readahead, which is the reminder for asynchronous readahead.
      
      More background: the PG_readahead page flag is shared with PG_reclaim,
      one for read path and the other for write path. clear_page_dirty_for_io()
      unconditionally clears PG_readahead to prevent possible readahead residuals,
      assuming itself to be always called in the write path. However, NFS is one
      and the only exception in that it _always_ calls clear_page_dirty_for_io()
      in the read path, i.e. for readpages()/readpage().
