3.16-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 834ffca6f7e345a79f6f2e2d131b0dfba8a4b67a upstream. Similar to direct IO reads, direct IO writes are using truncate_pagecache_range to invalidate the page cache. This is incorrect due to the sub-block zeroing in the page cache that truncate_pagecache_range() triggers. This patch fixes things by using invalidate_inode_pages2_range instead. It preserves the page cache invalidation, but won't zero any pages.
