[PATCH] FS-Cache: Fix handling of an attempt to store a page thatis now beyond EOF

From: David Howells
Date: Mon Nov 11 2013 - 17:18:19 EST


Fix the handling of an attempt to store a page that is now beyond EOF. This
may happen, for example, if the page got pushed for storage before the netfs
file got truncated on the server. In such a case, we should just remove the
excessive pages from the cookie->stores radix tree and wake up the waiter.

This can be seen in /proc/fs/fscache/stats on this line:

Stores : ops=350 run=1895 pgs=1545 rxd=1727 olm=9

where olm=N has N > 0.
