Konstantin Khlebnikov 9266a14033 mm/filemap.c: warn if stale pagecache is left after direct write
generic_file_direct_write() tries to invalidate pagecache after O_DIRECT
write.  Unlike to similar code in dio_complete() this silently ignores
error returned from invalidate_inode_pages2_range().

According to comment this code here because not all filesystems call
dio_complete() to do proper invalidation after O_DIRECT write.  Noticeable
example is a blkdev_direct_IO().

This patch calls dio_warn_stale_pagecache() if invalidation fails.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
