Yes. But I think these files also need a similar change:

fs/btrfs/disk-io.c
fs/nfs/super.c


...because they also use VM_READAHEAD_PAGES, and do not directly include
pagemap.h yet.

Yes, "struct address_space *mapping" is weird, but I don't know if it's
"misleading", given that it's actually one of the things you have to learn
right from the beginning, with linux-mm, right? Or is that about to change?

I'm not asking to restore this to "struct address_space *mapping", but I thought
it's worth mentioning out loud, especially if you or others are planning on
changing those names or something. Just curious.
