readpages is only used for read-ahead, so read errors are

prepare_write: called by the generic write path in VM to set up a write
request for a page. This indicates to the address space that
the given range of bytes is about to be written. The
address_space should check that the write will be able to
complete, by allocating space if necessary and doing any other
internal housekeeping. If the write will update parts of
any basic-blocks on storage, then those blocks should be
pre-read (if they haven't been read already) so that the
updated blocks can be written out properly.
The page will be locked.

Note: the page _must not_ be marked uptodate in this function
(or anywhere else) unless it actually is uptodate right now. As
soon as a page is marked uptodate, it is possible for a concurrent
read(2) to copy it to userspace.

commit_write: If prepare_write succeeds, new data will be copied
into the page and then commit_write will be called. It will
typically update the size of the file (if appropriate) and
mark the inode as dirty, and do any other related housekeeping
operations. It should avoid returning an error if possible -
errors should have been handled by prepare_write.

write_begin: This is intended as a replacement for prepare_write. The
key differences being that:
- it returns a locked page (in *pagep) rather than being
given a pre locked page;
- it must be able to cope with short writes (where the
length passed to write_begin is greater than the number
of bytes copied into the page).
