Subject: ceph: Avoid data inconsistency due to d-cache aliasing in readpage()
From: Li Wang <[email protected]>
commit 56f91aad69444d650237295f68c195b74d888d95 upstream.
If the length of data to be read in readpage() is exactly
PAGE_CACHE_SIZE, the original code does not flush d-cache
for data consistency after finishing reading. This patches fixes
this.
