From: Johannes Weiner <hannes@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: fs: drop_caches: fix skipping over shadow cache inodes When drop_caches truncates the page cache in an inode it also includes any shadow entries for evicted pages. However, there is a preliminary check on whether the inode has pages: if it has *only* shadow entries, it will skip running truncation on the inode and leave it behind. Fix the check to mapping_empty(), such that it runs truncation on any inode that has cache entries at all.
