Oh, that's annoying.  Particularly annoying is that the return value
for invalidate_mapping_pages() is used by fs/inode.c to account for
the number of pages invalidate, and the return value for
invalidate_inode_pages2_range() is used by several filesystems
to know whether an error occurred.

Hm.  Shouldn't you be checking for an error from
invalidate_inode_pages2_range()?  Seems like it can return -EBUSY for
DAX entries.

With that in mind, the wrapper you actually want to exist is

static int invalidate_inode_pages_range(struct address_space *mapping,
				pgoff_t start, pgoff_t end)
{
	invalidate_mapping_pages(mapping, start, end);
	return 0;
}

Right?
