Hi Andrew, Should this go through the mm tree?
This fixes an optimisation in fscache whereby we don't read from the cache for a particular file until we know that there's data there that we don't have in the pagecache. The problem is that I'm no longer using PG_fscache (aka PG_private_2) to indicate that the page is cached and so I don't get a notification when a cached page is dropped from the pagecache. The first patch merges some folio_has_private() and filemap_release_folio() pairs and introduces a helper, folio_needs_release(), to indicate if a release is required. The second patch is the actual fix. Following Willy's suggestions[1], it adds an AS_RELEASE_ALWAYS flag to an address_space that will make filemap_release_folio() always call ->release_folio(), even if PG_private/PG_private_2 aren't set. folio_needs_release() is altered to add a check for this. David Changes: ======== ver #7) - Make NFS set AS_RELEASE_ALWAYS. ver #6) - Drop the third patch which removes a duplicate check in vmscan(). ver #5) - Rebased on linus/master. try_to_release_page() has now been entirely replaced by filemap_release_folio(), barring one comment. - Cleaned up some pairs in ext4. ver #4) - Split has_private/release call pairs into own patch. - Moved folio_needs_release() to mm/internal.h and removed open-coded version from filemap_release_folio(). - Don't need to clear AS_RELEASE_ALWAYS in ->evict_inode(). - Added experimental patch to reduce shrink_folio_list(). ver #3) - Fixed mapping_clear_release_always() to use clear_bit() not set_bit(). - Moved a '&&' to the correct line. ver #2) - Rewrote entirely according to Willy's suggestion[1].
