+/*
+ * linux/fs/nfs/read.c
+ *
+ * Block I/O for NFS
+ *
+ * Partial copy of Linus' read cache modifications to fs/nfs/file.c
+ * modified for async RPC by okir@monad.swb.de
+ *
+ * We do an ugly hack here in order to return proper error codes to the
+ * user program when a read request failed: since generic_file_read
+ * only checks the return value of inode->i_op->readpage() which is always 0
+ * for async RPC, we set the error bit of the page to 1 when an error occurs,
+ * and make nfs_readpage transmit requests synchronously when encountering this.
+ * This is only a small problem, though, since we now retry all operations
+ * within the RPC code when root squashing is suspected.
