[PATCH 2/2] VM: invalidate_inode_pages2_range() shouldn't fail on page dirty...

[Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>]

From: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

invalidate_inode_pages2() should not try to fix races between direct_IO and
mmap(). It should only be trying to clear out pages that were dirty before
the direct_IO write (see generic_file_direct_IO()).
Skipping dirty pages should therefore not result in an error.
