Please could you send such patches as inline, rather than as
attachments. It makes it harder to comment on the patch contents...


I will investigate how to do this.

+static int nfs_want_read_modify_write(struct file *file, struct page *page,
+			loff_t pos, unsigned len)
+{
+	unsigned int pglen = nfs_page_length(page);
+	unsigned int offset = pos & (PAGE_CACHE_SIZE - 1);
+	unsigned int end = offset + len;
+
+	if ((file->f_mode & FMODE_READ) &&	/* open for read? */
+	    !PageUptodate(page) &&		/* Uptodate? */
+	    !PageDirty(page) &&			/* Dirty already? */
+	    !PagePrivate(page) &&		/* i/o request already? */

I don't think you need the PageDirty() test. These days we should be
guaranteed to always have PagePrivate() set whenever PageDirty() is
(although the converse is not true). Anything else would be a bug...


Okie doke.  It seemed to me that this should be true, but it was
safer to leave both tests.

I will remove that PageDirty test, retest, and then send another
version of the patch.  I will be out next week, so it will take a
couple of weeks.

   Thanx...

      ps

+	    pglen &&				/* valid bytes of file? */
+	    (end < pglen || offset))		/* replace all valid bytes? */
+		return 1;
+	return 0;
+}
