[PATCHv3 13/41] truncate: make sure invalidate_mapping_pages() can discard huge pages

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



invalidate_inode_page() has expectation about page_count() of the page
-- if it's not 2 (one to caller, one to radix-tree), it will not be
dropped. That condition almost never met for THPs -- tail pages are
pinned to the pagevec.

Let's drop them, before calling invalidate_inode_page().
