Thank you for your response.

The patch [1] fixed the stale data exposure problem which was tested by
generic/042. I'm afarid it's completely a diffrent case for generic/418.

In generic/418, direct write wrote some data to disk successfully, while
buffer read left the correspond page uptodate with 0 content in
pagecache.

Thanks!
