Makes sense.

One coding style comment, though.

The official kernel coding style is to put single instructions under if/else
like this in braces if the other branch of the if/else is multiline (and
therefore naturally in braces).   So please do:

+	if (!pg_offp) { /* on page boundary? */
+		res = snapshot_read_next(&data->handle);
+		if (res <= 0)
+			goto Unlock;
+	} else {
+		res = PAGE_SIZE - pg_offp;
+	}

and analogously wherever applicable.

Thanks,
Rafael
