Re: [PATCH] Ceph: Avoid data inconsistency due to d-cache aliasing in readpage()

Hi Yan,
zero_user_segment() has invoked flush_dcache_page() for us, we donnot wanna flush d-cache twice.

Cheers,
Li Wang

If the length of data to be read in readpage() is exactly
PAGE_CACHE_SIZE, the original code does not flush d-cache
for data consistency after finishing reading. This patches fixes
this.

this doesn't make sense for me. why not call flush_dcache_page unconditionally?
