Subject: [PATCH 1/8] buffer: make invalidate_bdev() drain all percpu LRU add caches
Date: Sat, 15 May 2010 20:09:27 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1273946974-29131-2-git-send-email-tj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1273946974-29131-1-git-send-email-tj@kernel.org>

invalidate_bdev() should release all page cache pages which are clean
and not being used; however, if some pages are still in the percpu LRU
add caches on other cpus, those pages are considered in used and don't
get released.  Fix it by calling lru_add_drain_all() before trying to
invalidate pages.

This problem was discovered while testing block automatic native
capacity unlocking.  Null pages which were read before automatic
unlocking didn't get released by invalidate_bdev() and ended up
interfering with partition scan after unlocking.
