It doesn't, I'm assuming that find_get_pages() returns consequtive pages

Yeah, sorry.  It's a "gather what's presently there" thing.  For writeback.

Nick has some gang-lookup-slots code.  So instead of populating an array of
page*'s you can populate an array of (effectively) page**'s.  Then one
could walk that.   All while holding ->tree_lock.    This doesn't help ;)


Actually while we're on the subject, my gang_lookup_slot code is just
named to match lookup_slot and gang_lookup... it still only returns
slots that are presently populated. Suggestions for a better name
welcome?

Probably the simplest for now is an open-coded find_get_page() loop.  Later

Agreed. I think that's the best idea for now.
