[patch 0/7] fault vs truncate/invalidate race fix

From: Nick Piggin
Date: Fri Jan 12 2007 - 22:28:30 EST


The following set of patches fix the fault vs invalidate and fault
vs truncate_range race for filemap_nopage mappings, plus those and
fault vs truncate race for nonlinear mappings.

Hasn't changed since I last submitted it, when it was rejected because
it made one of the buffered write deadlocks easier to hit. I'll try
again.

Patches based on 2.6.20-rc4. Comments?

Thanks,
Nick
