ocfs2 also calls jbd2_journal_invalidatepage(). I would think we
would need to apply a similar fix up to ocfs2, lest they end up having
jbd2_journal_invalidatepage() silently failing for them.
I'm going to hold off on this patch until we're sure it's not going to
cause problems for ocfs2. A quick check indicates that they also
support sub-page block sizes, which would tend to indicate that they
could get hit by the same dead lock, yes?
