I have a bit of an aversion to that style of for loop ... I like this
instead:

        while (nr_pages) {
                struct page *page = readahead_page(mapping, start++);

                if (fuse_readpages_fill(&data, page) != 0)
                        goto out;
                nr_pages--;
        }
