Shutemov" <kirill.shutemov@...ux.intel.com> Subject: [PATCHv2 13/41] truncate: make sure invalidate_mapping_pages() can discard huge pages invalidate_inode_page() has expectation about page_count() of the page -- if it's not 2 (one to caller, one to radix-tree), it will not be dropped. That condition almost never met for THPs -- tail pages are pinned to the pagevec. Let's drop them, before calling invalidate_inode_page(). Signed-off-by: Kirill A.
