3.16.7-ckt4 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Joe Thornber <ejt@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 1e32134a5a404e80bfb47fad8a94e9bbfcbdacc5 upstream. If the incoming bio is a WRITE and completely covers a block then we don't bother to do any copying for a promotion operation. Once this is done the cache block and origin block will be different, so we need to set it to 'dirty'.
