problem with recent VFS changes

I'm working on updating our driver to the changes in the 2.3.30+
kernels, and one of the VFS changes has me stumped (I'm also
changing to use the kiobuf stuff instead of our own code -- that's
going fine so far...).

In struct inode_operations, the following interfaces changed:

from:

int (*readpage) (struct file *, struct page *);
int (*writepage) (struct file *, struct page *);

to:

int (*readpage) (struct dentry *, struct page *);
int (*writepage) (struct dentry *, struct page *);

But I need some info from the file structure (file->f_pos at least).
How am I supposed to find it? Or have I just looked down the wrong
path? I suppose that I should look at how ext2 did it?

thanks!
