The patch titled FS-Cache: Release page->private in failed readahead has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is fs-cache-release-page-private-in-failed-readahead.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this From: David Howells <dhowells@xxxxxxxxxx> Cause read_cache_pages() to release page-private data on a page for which add_to_page_cache() fails or the filler function fails. This permits pages with caching references associated with them to be cleaned up.
