[PATCH 02/13] writeback: clear PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY for truncated page in block_write_full_page()

[Fengguang Wu <wfg@mail.ustc.edu.cn>]

[-- Attachment #1: ext2-fix.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 847 bytes --]

The `truncated' page in block_write_full_page() may stick for a long time.
E.g. ext2_rmdir() will set i_size to 0, and then the dir inode may hang around
because of being referenced by someone.

So clear PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY to prevent pdflush from retrying and iowaiting on
it.
