Subject: [PATCH 4/6] GFS2: Fix incorrect invalidation for DIO/buffered I/O
Date: Thu,  2 Jan 2014 12:28:12 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1388665694-1639-5-git-send-email-swhiteho@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1388665694-1639-1-git-send-email-swhiteho@redhat.com>

In patch 209806aba9d540dde3db0a5ce72307f85f33468f we allowed
local deferred locks to be granted against a cached exclusive
lock. That opened up a corner case which this patch now
fixes.

The solution to the problem is to check whether we have cached
pages each time we do direct I/O and if so to unmap, flush
and invalidate those pages. Since the glock state machine
normally does that for us, mostly the code will be a no-op.
