From: Goldwyn Rodrigues <rgoldwyn@xxxxxxxx> Filesystems such as btrfs are unable to guarantee page invalidation because extents could be locked because of an ongoing I/O. This happens even though a filemap_write_and_wait() has been called because btrfs locks extents in a separate cleanup thread until all ordered extents in range have performed the tree changes. Return zero in case a page cache invalidation is unsuccessful so filesystems can fallback to buffered I/O. This takes care of the following invalidation warning during btrfs mixed buffered and direct I/O using iomap_dio_rw(): Page cache invalidation failure on direct I/O. Possible data corruption due to collision with buffered I/O! This is similar to the behavior of generic_file_direct_write().
