I've noticed that we allocated unneeded page for cache on read beyond i_size. Simple test case (I checked it on ramfs): $ touch testfile $ cat testfile It triggers 'no_cached_page' code path in do_generic_file_read(). Looks like it's regression since commit a32ea1e. Let's fix it. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.
