Here's a patch that fixes the "Bad page state" errors due to missing
invalidation of mapped pages seen during my testing. I suspect this
patch will fix the oops seen by Jeff too. Though the problem manifests
itself in different ways, I think the root cause remains the same.

Jeff: Could you please try this patch and see whether it fixes the issue
seen by you?


From: Suresh Jayaraman <sjayaraman@xxxxxxx>
Subject: [PATCH] cifs: invalidate any mapped pages before turning cache off

When disabling inode cookie, we were returning the cookie and setting
cifsi->fscache to NULL without invalidating any previously mapped pages. This
resulted in "Bad page state" errors and manifested in other kind of errors
when running fsstress. This patch fixes it by invalidating mapped pages while
disabling the inode cookie.
