This is the second posting of this patchset. The end result of this set should be indentical to the v1 set, but this fixes some problems in the intermediate changes that would have introduced bugs for someone doing a bisect. This patchset fixes up some cache invalidation problems that can occur when cache=loose. The main point is to ensure that we revalidate the cache prior to satisfying a read. At the same time, I added a fix for a potential problem that cropped up with NFS a while back, and to which CIFS is also vulnerable. This was originally reported by Tetsuo Handa, and as far as I can tell this fixes his testcase, assuming that you also ensure that kernel oplocks are enabled. Given that we're late in the cycle, I'd like to see these merged for v3.16 but getting them into -next soon would be good.
