Attached is that patch that fixes the regression caused by
the above patch... I've tested with both the connectathon test suite
and the fsx test suite.

The patch is based on the 2.6.18-rc4 kernel tree.

The patch fixes a regression that causes the special tests
of the Connectation tests suite to fail. When a hole in a 
file is created (like the holey test does), the page will
be allocated but there will be nothing read into it. The
means the number of byte read from the server will be
zero (i.e.  data->res.count). In the case, the page
still has PageUptodate-ed which is what this patch
does.
