The patch titled NFS: Deal with failure of invalidate_inode_pages2() has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is nfs-deal-with-failure-of-invalidate_inode_pages2.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: NFS: Deal with failure of invalidate_inode_pages2() From: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@xxxxxxxxxx> If invalidate_inode_pages2() fails, then it should in principle just be because the current process was signalled. In that case, we just want to ensure that the inode's page cache remains marked as invalid. Also add a helper to allow the O_DIRECT code to simply mark the page cache as invalid once it is finished writing, instead of calling invalidate_inode_pages2() itself.
